Abstract:
The Brushy Mountains are not as high as some of the peaks in western North Carolina, but they offer viewers beautiful and interesting scenery. They extend from Lenoir some 65 miles northeast to Pilot Mountain and include parts of Caldwell, Alexander, Wilkes, Yadkin and Surry counties. Abernethy's article covers the mountainous area between Lenoir and the Yadkin County line, about 35 miles distant.
