Abstract:

This series was originally published in \"Heart of the Alleghanies\" in 1881, giving a picture of North Carolina resources as drawn by two travelers from the North. Ziegler and Crosscup document North Carolina from a climatical and botanical point of view in general, but keep their observations in this record of their series focused on agriculture. Observations include the growth of tobacco production, and the rise of tobacco producing havens such as Hickory and Shelby.
