Abstract:
Throughout the 19th-century, the state's western mountain region experienced a great deal of volcanic activity. Volcanoes, and subsequent earthquakes, were noted in Buncombe, Haywood, Macon, and Cherokee counties. These events were well documented by Sen. Thomas L. Clingman of Asheville, a respected politician and amateur geologist. The latest volcanic activity occurred in Cherokee County 1874.
