Abstract:

President Theodore Roosevelt supporters organized to create the Buncombe County Roosevelt Republican Club in Asheville on February 10, 1912. Richmond Pearson led not only this club, but headed the Roosevelt campaign for the entire state. Looking at the Roosevelt Campaign and Republican politics within the state, the author analyzes the political actions of the era and the eventual fracturing of the state's Republican Party after the 1912 election.
