| BREVARD - Images of America Series | ||||||||
 |
Arcadia Publishing is pleased to present BREVARD by Susan M. Lefler. As part of the Images of America series, the title is a collection of more than 200 vintage images and informative captions chronicling the history of this mountain town. Brevard, North Carolina, “land of waterfalls,” is tucked into a lush valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Brevard was founded as the county seat of Transylvania County in 1861, the year that North Carolina seceded from the union. Wealthy families from South Carolina’s low country had long summered in the mountains, and even after the war, the region maintained its powerful pull. The arrival of the railroads brought tourists to Brevard from all over the country—including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and Harvey Firestone--and the logging industry attracted entrepreneurs who made their fortunes here. You will revel in Brevard’s rich heritage as you relive an ostrich race on Main Street, baptism in an icy river, and a trip to a moonshine still. Experience the booming logging industry, relive parades and downtown scenes, and read the astonishing stories of some local folks. Twenty-seven years in Brevard has given author Susan Lefler ample opportunity to discover what makes it unique. Price: $19.99 |
