Abstract:

On his way to Los Angeles, Walt Disney spent a few short months, in 1924, working in Asheville. The 23-year-old Disney worked as a draftsman for Thomas A. Cox., Jr.'s engineering firm. Disney, however, did not find success in this trade, as he tended to include ornate drawings such, as tiny hands pointing to remarks and intricate arrows drawn in color. Disney was soon fired from his job and continued toward California. Several of his drafts are still on file in the Buncombe County Court House.
