A Trip Through Ashe and notes on Ashe county
A long narrative from Boon to Jefferson describes mountain scenery near the Blue Ridge and New River, mine visits at Gap Creek, mine equipment and ore analyses, and a look at Ashe County springs. It recounts Elk Knob and local geology, branding discussions of mineral wealth and plans for water works, with later reflections on faith, resilience, and moral trials.
