Abstract:
Gannon takes readers on a tour of the state's gold mining area in the southern Piedmont. Gold discovered there in 1799 triggered the first gold rush in the nation fifty years before the famous California strike. Other areas to explore include Badin Lake, Lake Tillery, Morrow Mountain State Park, and the Uwharrie National Forest.
