Abstract:

An examination of tourism's social and economic force in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and its role in shaping the history of the post-Civil War South via the development of Victorian consumer culture, a more prosperous middle class, a growing transportation network, and the entrepreneurial development of leisure pursuits and accommodations. Asheville is used as a case study.
