Abstract:

Continuing his travels to North Carolina's counties, Goerch visits Madison County. Located in the mountains, it covers 450 square miles. The county is one of the leading producers of pure-bred cattle as well as being the state's largest grower of burley tobacco. Marshall, the county seat, has the courthouse and business district located on a narrow strip of land beside the French Broad River, while the high school stands on an island in the river.
