Abstract:

In another extract from Zeigler and Grosscup's \"Heart of the Alleghenies,\" published in 1881, the travelers describe their experiences in Graham County. In particular, the pair concentrates on the recent purchase by a county native of 800 merino sheep, their ill care, and subsequent death. Zeigler and Grosscup continue on, detailing their travels to Madison and Buncombe Counties.
