Abstract:

Ogle Meadow was a location little visited during the 1940s but offered stunning natural beauty. Located near Burnsville, the meadow was part of western North Carolina's already noteworthy natural landmarks. Yeates Knob offered a broad panorama with an elevation of 6,001 feet. In the 1940s few tourist had yet discovered its appeal and was used by Asheville native Walter Haynes as a pasture for his seventy-five head of cattle.
