Abstract:

Russell Brantley, Mark Reece, and Irvin Grigg, faculty and administration at Wake Forest University, set out to hike the passage from Lake James to Linville Falls, North Carolina on June 7th, 1959. Guided by National Park Service Ranger, Jack Stark, the men were unable to complete their intended journey. This article offers a glimpse into the flora and fauna encountered during the adventure as well as the unspoiled conditions of this particular region in the western part of the state.
