Abstract:

In the early part of the twentieth century, three of the nation's greatest writers found inspiration and intrigue in Western North Carolina. One was a native of Asheville (Thomas Wolfe), one came to stay while his wife battled mental illness (F. Scott Fitzgerald), and one, an artist, poet, and author, came to Flat Rock seeking a warmer climate, a pastoral place to write, and a place where he and his wife could raise prize-winning gaots (Carl Sandburg).
