Abstract:
The Mountains were a valuable part of NC, the author proclaimed, initially measuring this value in the types of precious stones to be found in ranges such as Pisgah. Discussed later was their greatest source of wealth—the people. Such people included those there before the arrival of English settlers, such as the Cherokee. Such people included the generations of immigrants and present day resident of Appalachia. The author concluded that collectively they helped to make the area what it became.

Abstract:
Recent court decisions upheld the contention of the government that the Qualla band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina are living in tribal relationship and that they are living on a reservation. The principal contention is that the Qualla Tribe does not hold the same status as Indians living on reservations ceded to tribes in the western part of the country. Although this band of Cherokee technically are required to pay federal taxes, they are not however, subject to state taxes.
