Appalachian Mountains

This illustration from Wilbur G. Zeigler and Ben S. Grosscup's late 19th century travel narrative, 'Heart of the Alleghanies'� (p. 375), is captioned, 'Mt. Pisgah (5,763 feet above sea). View from Swannanoa Hotel' (p. 375). The Swannanoa Hotel was located in Asheville, N.C. Concerning Mt. Pisgah, the authors assert that, 'This latter peak is a famous height for the sight-seer. It is easily accessible, and from its summit the view is almost boundless. The broad valleys, watered by the Hominy and French Broad, stretch toward the eastern limit' (p. 123).
