Courage of Pioneer Reflected in Bi Boswell Progress
Bi town honors Daniel Boone with its forward march in industry and education. The Watauga Democrat founder R. C. Rivers inspired local growth, the Dougherty brothers built a school that became Appalachian State Teachers College now a four year college. A new hospital is planned funded by Duke Endowment, while Boone’s frontier exploits and leadership echo in the town’s pride and development.
