Watauga County Revisited - Hardcover
About this item
by Terry L. Harmon (Author)
Prior to its formation in 1849, Watauga County was a hunting ground for the Cherokee and part of the trail blazed by frontiersman Daniel Boone, for whom the county seat was later named. Primarily settled by whites after the Revolutionary War, many of the county s earliest families came to the Appalachians from the Piedmont region of North Carolina and, prior to that, from the North New England, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. These settlers were mainly of European extraction English, German, Scottish, Irish, Swiss, and Welsh along with a smaller African representation. Nestled in the panoramic Blue Ridge Mountains and unimagined by its early agrarian inhabitants, Watauga would become one of North Carolina s premier tourist destinations and home to Appalachian State University."
