Abstract:
Hugh Morton is a strong promoter of North Carolina. He headed the first Azalea Festival in Wilmington in 1948; fought to save the USS North Carolina and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse; fought twelve years to keep the Blue Ridge Parkway from going over his mountain (It went around. The viaduct on Grandfather Mountain is an engineering marvel.); built the Mile-High Swinging Bridge on Grandfather Mountain; and for sixty years took photographs of the state and its people.
