The Heart of the Alleghanies; or, Western North Carolina

Wilbur Gleason Zeigler and Ben S. Grosscup

In the haunts of the black bear, under the valley of the noonday sun, western North Carolina reveals its wild heart. Wilbur Zeigler rides through the Alleghanies with rod and line and rifle, meeting mountaineers and chasing antlers. Scenery, natural resources, and frontier character woven together. A spirited nineteenth-century portrait of the Blue Ridge before the tourists came. Saddle up and climb.
