A long, rambling historical account links a mountain town Boone to a soon arriving railroad connecting Ashe, Todd, and Watanga counties. It discusses Howard Knob housekeeping, Samson family, and Mrs Samson, then shifts to regional rail ambitions, eastern state development, and the impact on North Carolina’s commerce and civic life with rail links to Virginia and Tennessee.
