Abstract:

Although he is relatively unknown today, James Mills Flack was a major player in promoting tourism in the state's mountains in the early 20th-century. Flack owned and operated the Mountain View Inn, which opened in 1895 and was one of the largest and finest hotels in Chimney Rock. Cole discusses Flack and his efforts in tourism development.
