01	Preface, iii	PREFACE "It must be briefly stated in preliminary, that this little book -- designed as a definite manual or guide to mountain resorts of Western North Carolina, as to relative position distances, etc. -- does not pretend to exhaust the places of attraction in this extended region. On the contrary, only prominent localities, with their approximate points of beauty or interest, are here outlined, leaving a wide field untouched ; as when we reflect that this great table-land, literally furrowed by mountains, is two hundred and fifty miles in length, with an average width of fifty miles, it will be understood at a glance that much more space would be needed to comprehend all. Of those embraced, it may be pleaded that the wild charm of untamed natural beauty does not readily yield to the garb of descriptive phrase or portraitures. Nature, to her real lovers, speaks far more appealingly without aid or intervention. Some reader, glancing through, may exclaim with Horace Walpole, 'In truth there seems little but prospects ; and for these, unless I were a bird, I would not journey so far ;' though the latter adds in excuse, ' when ac- ...."

02	Preface. iv	"...commodations are so wretched.' this may scarcely be urged in force, as throughout the country comfort is generally attainable, and in many instances much besides. As a rule, he who carries an appreciative spirit, and a reasonable purse, may find an enjoyable resting-place almost anywhere. Certainly a very fair balance between charges and accommodation may be claimed for this region. As this suggests rates of board, and as it is the end of a guide-book to give practical information, it may be added that board ranges from fifteen dollars to forty and fifty per month ; average, twenty-five. Special rates of course to families and parties. More exact rates of special localities will be found in the advertising pages. I. F C.

06	page 12	INTRODUCTORY "'If you would enjoy mountains, you must carry mountains in your brain. Nature plays at dominoes with you -- you must match her piece, before she will yield it up to you.' "'But mountain scenery is stupidly monotonous -- it is ever the same, ' is the objection sometimes urged against it by those whose sympathies or sensibilities -- dare we whisper capabilities -- are too contracted to embrace these huge children of earth. Ever the same? O mantle of snow, spring-robe of verdure, flowered tunic of summer, flaming vesture of autumn! O blue vail of distance, mourning vail of storms, white diaphanous drapery, and bridal wreaths of fog! 'O sunrise and sunset crowns of fire!' O fleeting cloud-shadows, flinging fitful frowns across their uplifted brows! O ineffable richness of sunlit smiles on their stern solemn features! O versatile spirit of Nature, capricious as childhood, or a woman's fancy! unite to contradict the false aspersion!..." [poetics regarding the polymorphous, but ever beautiful, faces of nature.]
07	page 13	ROUTES TO THE MOUNTAINS. "Three primary routes conduct the traveller to that diversified table-land, within whose limits are embraced the several points of interest herein described. Hedged in as this grand table-land is by the long parallel boundaries of Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains, and rent into numerous transverse valleys by a series of cross-chains, almost any route leading thither must scale these natural walls through some convenient gap...

In the vicinity is the Flat Rock House, a large summer hotel of long reputation.; Cumberland Gap Route

12	page 19	ASHEVILLE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS "'A PLACE of resort -- that is only to say, A place where all sorts freely gather ; The 'twenty-four black-birds,' the grave and the gay Here mingle, or jostle in wondrous melee, A human kaleidoscope, rather!'" "Asheville has already been mentioned as the terminus of the State transmontane railroad, but to this mountain capital, the Hub of the region, and itself one of the most popular resorts of all, more extended notice must be given..." [Description of Asheville and near environs.]

Indeed prolonged rambles about the wild, lovely base of Richmond Hill—with its splendid forest vistas, and the wayward frequent curves of the river rippling in glassy lakes between --will fully repay the rambler, provided he be a good pedestrian. One and a half miles south from Asheville, the view from Fernihurst hotly contends the palm of beauty with either rival. Private property, the entrance to Fernihurst is courteously extended to the public three days of each week, and the eager multitude is prompt to take advantage of privileged days. With the same mountain view, differing only by relative position, the special feature of this scene, beside the lovely, pastoral foreground and setting, is the conjunction in the broad valley, 200 feet below, of the Swannanoa and French Broad Rivers ; the former, after fretting its banks with many a curve, losing its identity in the larger stream, whose accelerated onward sweep toward a distant gap, apparently exit for lowering sun or westering river, completes a picture breathing beauty, suggestive of Corot, Inness, or Kensett.

27	page 35	Mount Mitchell. "It is the charm of these lawless owners of solitude that they mock man's efforts to reduce their grand chaos to order by means of classes and names. 'Centuries old are the mountain,' and serenely unmoved, silent as the sphinx, fixed as the rock-ribbed earth, the spell of their awful beauty yields to no interpreter. Then, as the day slips away, and the westering sun 'seeks the Hesperides of the silent air,' picture the multitudinous waves of light and color sweeping over the scene, shifting slowly from peak to peak, lending tints impossible to transfer as to depict -- an infinity of beauty momentarily varying until the golden galleon has dipped behind the horizon's farthest rim..."

36	page 44	The Pools [Bottomless Pool, near Lake Lure]. "In the rock-lined trough of a swift-flowing creek, rushing through this ravine, hemmed straitly [sic] on either hand by precipitate hills, are these three natural wells or basins, hollowed smoothly and roundly out of the solid rock to a great depth. The first pool -- perhaps fifty yards up the stream from the point where we enter the glen, is the smallest in circumference, but also the deepest and the most striking in the marvelous finish of its ringed walls...."
37	page 45	[page missing from scan]
38	page 46	The Pools. "...Indian lovers who found a common grave in its deep waters is recounted anew, and lends a lacking significance to its impenetrable depths. Pursued by the warring pale-faces -- so runs the story -- and pressed through the forest they knew not whither, a sudden juncture the panting fugitives found themselves upon the brink of the cliff over-looking the pool ; with the alternative of surrender, or death by a leap. 'Locked in one another's arms, and silent in a last embrace,' they chose the latter, and as the astonished pursuers followed close upon their track they found only the troubled, heaving water to tell their fate. Credulity may revolt after leaving the haunted spot ; now it lends itself a willing victim to traditional suggestions or fancy's lightest whisper. Gazing into those darkly-green uncanny waters, a thousand mysteries seemed locked in their inviolate keeping." ... Bear Wallow Mountain ; Sugar-loaf ; Pinnacles.

"Beyond the house on the right is the rumbling Bald. The curious in such matters will find interest in the long seam or fissure that rends the mountain from base almost to the summit, several feet in width, and of great depth. Near by, dark abrasures [sic] in the rock are windows of an extensive adjacent cave within the mountain ; but so dark and little explored are its recesses that few will care to venture. It has been suggested that the loud rumbling of the Bald originates in the fall and reverberation of heavy fragments of granite in this cave. The noises and jar, of whatever origin, have been heard or felt at a great distance, eighteen or twenty miles away." ...
40	page 48-50	Point Lookout --- Caesar's Head.
41	page 51	CAESAR'S HEAD "Beauty -- a living presence of the earth Pitches her tents before me as I move, An hourly neighbor." A Bold Headland, a noble summit, an outlying spur of the Blue Ridge -- such are some of the descriptive epithets applied to that splendid eminence, Caesar's Head, forming the apex of a triangular curve of its range at the southern extremity of Transylvania ; the Head itself stretching across the South Carolina line, and sweeping with its illimitable outlook all the lowlands that vision can comprehend, in addition to the tangled maze of mountains, stretching from its right far in its rear, in long. irregular loops. ..."

45	page 55	[Trout fishing.] "In the dark linn at the foot of Great Falls, a line of fifty or sixty feet may be cast, and the speckled beauties rise gaily to the fly, or more readily, perhaps -- perverted taste! -- to the bug or worm. A better idea of the immense rocks of the river's basin may be formed by walking behind the flowing sheet of Bridal Vail. The massive ledge holding out the Vail projects in a broad shelf from its granite bed, and under this shelf, with the deafening water as an outer wall, we may cross to the opposite bank. The Rocky way under foot is damp with filtering water, slimy with moss, and interrupted by small pools ; but fortified with stout boots and water-proof, the discomfort is trifling, the slight stimulus of adventure agreeable, and the view from the opposite bank the reward."... Bridal Vail [sic] Falls ; Buck Forest ; Caesar's Head
46	page 56	Caesar's Head. "Still ascending in easy slopes, almost as elevated it seems as those misty towers on the right, a final climb gains a comparative level, where, driving westward a short distance, the vehicles are abandoned, and a few steps conduct the traveller to the cliff. It is not so much the altitude of this wonderful Head -- though that is considerable, forty-five hundred feet -- as its peculiar outlying prominence that commands for it such a marvellous [sic] outlook. Jutting out from its range in this ledge the rock suddenly breaks off into a sheer, vertical edge, falling hundreds and hundreds of feet below (three thousand, it is claimed) to the plains of South Carolina. If only vision would hold out, the entire State would unroll as a map with a boundary-line of the far Atlantic. Southward no range or peak interferes with the compassless sweep of sight ; only hill or plain in endless succession, under the vibrating light, till the misty curtain of distance shuts off the view."... Dismal Forest ;
47	page 57	"'...like sighing in a dream,' echoes across from Saluda Gorge, where the South Fork makes its long descent. "'I should like to be brought to Caesar's Head to die! exclaimed an enthusiastic beholder (feminine it is needless to add), and perhaps this heartfelt sentiment may suggest to the uninitiated something of the exaltation this place inspires. Beauty without dross or blemish lies around ; earth and its heavy cares drop from us like a garment ; heaven bends encouragingly near, and eternity seems symbolized in the endless space or the spherical roll of sparkling ether." Caesar's Head Hotel "... only a quarter of a mile from the Head..."
48	page 58	Caesar's Head. "...Its perfect immunity from hay-fever will commend it to all suffers from that fashionable ill, or its allies, rose-cold, etc. ; and for the weak throat or chest, the overworked brain, or wearied nerves, it is a healing balm. Throughout the season a succession of visitors come and go, many remaining for weeks ; and the secret of its popularity is easily comprehended. ...Tempting little paths descend on either side of the Head, amid a lovely confusion of rocks and trees. One of these on the left, conducts to the great cleft in the face of the cliff known as Caesar's Mouth." "No satisfactory origin of the name can be traced. The christeners must have held liberal ideas of great Caesar, thus to magnify his proportions in this grim effigy of stone." ..."Several miles in a north-west direction, down a shaded pass of the same name, the Saluda Falls make their dizzy journey from the upper world..."
49	page 59	Bridal Vail Falls. "It is the freshness, the daring, the joyous confidence of youth that speaks in this mountain stream...." The thermometer at Caesar's Head ranges during the summer months from 50 to 70 [degrees] ; average 60 [degrees] ; temperature of water from 52 to 54 [degrees]..."
50	page 60	HAYWOOD WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS "...No more striking example of this need be instanced than the Haywood White Sulphur Springs -- in the midst of the Great Balsam Mountains. Under the shelter of cool hills, and guarded by titan peaks, this perpetual curative fountain bubbles up in a lovely highland valley at an elevation of two thousand seven hundred and seventeen feet -- its medicinal powers strongly developed and attested, and assisted by the tonic of a pure atmosphere and the native beauty of its environment. Thirty-eight miles south of the Warm Springs, and thirty-two west of Asheville ..."
51	page 61	Pisgah. "The range of Pisgah that, from its height, rich coloring, and peculiar marked outline, has grown familiar to the sojourner at Asheville, apparently intervenes midway ; but so sharply does its line dent in a synclinal gap, fifteen miles from town, that no climbing is needed, beyond the ordinary succession of hills, incident to this rolling country."... "...Directly at the foot of this shorn summit is the excellent wayside house, Valley Farm, where the traveller may always reckon upon that desideratum, a well-cooked meal neatly served. This is the usual dinner-house, or midway resting place ; and with its abundant orchard and stock-yard, Valley Farm typifies the rural plenty that the sharpened appetite fully appreciates. .."

The Warm Springs are literally warm pools rising to the surface near the river -- the scale of heat from 102 [degrees] to 104 [degrees] Fahr. Comfortable bath-rooms enclose the basins, which make delightful tepid baths, deep enough to support swimmers." ...
70	page 77	[cont. Hot and Warm Springs] "... In addition to the invalids, a gay crowd of pleasure-seekers annually throng the hotel. Its beautiful surroundings of mountains, river, and creek ; its baths and mineral waters -- sulphur and chalybeate -- and its ever-improving facilities for accommodation, are magnets that serve their end, and draw that looked for majority at favorite watering-places -- a crowd. Recent large additions have been made to the hotel ; accommodation for one thousand guests, it is said, is provided, with handsome improvement of the bathing facilities in both hot and cold baths."

"Perhaps a brief summary for the general reader, of the peculiar topography of this region, Western North Carolina, followed by a few leading hints to the sportsman, should here be added. The general form of this great plateau (extending from Southern Virginia to Northern Georgia, and South Carolina) "is that of a long narrow loop, or a much flattened and somewhat distorted ellipse, the southern half having twice the breadth of the northern. The narrowest part of the plateau, about the Grandfather Mountain, is also the highest, having an altitude of 3500 to 4000 feet, while the average for the whole does not exceed 2600. The general direction of the axis of the plateau is about E.N.E. Two-thirds of its extent, or about 5000 square miles, lie within the State territory.'"* [Kerr] ... "'Through an extent of more than one hundred and fifty miles, the mean height of the valleys from ..."
