Abstract:

Arnold Guyot was a Swiss trained geographer who came to America in 1848. He studied the southern Appalachian Mountains for a little over ten years between 1849 and 1860, trying to understand the complexities of these mountain ranges. A map and copy of Guyot's work in the western portion of the state during the summers of 1856, '58, '59, and '60 are reprinted in this article with a brief introduction to Guyot and his project to record the southern Appalachians.
