Appalachian Summit is that region where the Southern Appalachian Mountains reach their greatest height. The area includes all of western North Carolina and parts of eastern Tennessee.
This is an exceedingly rich web site, parts of which will undoubtedly be featured in future MHS Blog entries. The site is divided into three main parts:
History
Appalachian Summit: a documentary history, 1540-1900: With the exception of short introductions, all of the text is drawn from primary sources. Rather than write a history of the area, I have attempted to let that history unfold in the words of those who experienced it.
Exploration
Annotated travel journals and diaries tracing the routes of early exploration and settlement across the modern landscape from the Atlantic coast to the Appalachian Summit.
Resources
Maps, Books, Web Sites, Places and People.
