Perched on the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains and founded in 1875 as a health and summer resort; the town of Highlands in Western North Carolina enjoys a northern climate in a southern setting. Its people originate from across the nation; giving an otherwise provincial village a cosmopolitan worldview; and its natural surroundings have attracted professionals in the arts and sciences as well as laborers; tradesmen; and craftsmen. The photographs in this volume attest to the extraordinary variety of characters that inhabited the Highlands plateau at the towns founding and during the first half-century of its growth and development.
