Wanderings of a Watauga Traveler Through East Tennessee
A reader recounts a late 19th or early 20th century journey visiting Beaverdam, Nev a, Bluff City, Blountville and Fork Town. The account praises local figures such as Wiley H Farthing and J L Hayes, notes the Holston Baptist Association gathering, and comments on roads, farms, and prominent residents. It also includes reflections on European conflict impacts and cotton markets with statements from John G Anderson of Rock Hill Buggy Company and observations from Paris and London during wartime.
