History of

Mitchell & Yancey Counties, NC

New! 59-Page Illustrated Book

Early days in Mitchell & Yancey Counties in North Carolina, are recalled through a mixture of colorful tales and factual data in this new 59-page comb-bound book, comprised of excerpts from several vintage books. These source materials include John Hill Wheeler's 1851 Historical Sketches of North Carolina; North Carolina, A Guide to the Old North State, a product of the WPA, first published in 1939; and A New Geography of North Carolina, a project started in the 1950s.

The tri-color front cover is printed on 80# card stock and has been protected with a vinyl sheet. We've enlarged the text to fit 8.5" x 11" paper and improve readability.

Places mentioned in the book include: Mitchell County -- Bakersville (county seat), Penland, Kona, and Spruce Pine. Yancey County -- Burnsville (county seat), Celo, Hardscrabble, Higgins, Relief, Lower Pig Pen, Micaville, and Upper Pig Pen .

Otway Burns; Samuel Bright; John Sevier; William Wiseman, William Davis and William Pendley, Alexander McKnitt and William Sharpe, early settlers; a land grab; the hardships of isolation; Civil War and its aftermath; the Railway; Minerals, including mica and feldspar, and Kaolin, a white clay used in pottery; Schools, including Penland School for Handicrafts; Tourism, Agriculture, Herb raising, and Lumber; Cloudland, built by Gen.
