Garrulous Mountaineer Draws People From Across the U S
Bill Crump, an 85 year old Pisgah Forest resident near Grandfather Mountain, draws visitors from Maine to California with his hand crafted furniture and life story. He recounts encounters in Oklahoma and Winston-Salem, shows his Paris drawn portrait, and notes his mill, water wheel, and fireside skills. He moved to the valley in 1896, relies on a self built drill, and claims 500 dollars in furniture orders awaiting. His fame rests on character and craft rather than formal schooling.
