Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains
Each year, thousands of tourists visit Mount Mitchell, the most prominent feature of North Carolina’s Black Mountain range and the highest peak in the eastern United States. From Native Americans and early explorers to land speculators and conservationists, people have long been drawn to this rugged region.

He chronicles the geological and environmental forces that created this intriguing landscape, then traces its history of environmental change and human intervention from the days of Indian-European contact to today. ...
The History of Plymouth Church
The name of Plymouth Church has been for many years a household word in countless communities at home and abroad, and yet little was known of its definite history.
