Charles Leander Rand (1888-1962) moved to Asheville, N.C. in 1952, with his wife, Ella Laurinda Melendy. Rand quickly became interested in mountain culture and developed an abiding interest in mountain cabins. He drove around mountain backroads looking for cabins, photographing them and those who lived in them. Rand soon found that playing his autoharp and singing helped him to establish trust and rapport with the mountaineers. From 1957 until his death in 1962, he photographed some 200 cabins. He placed these photographs in an album, making notes about the cabins and their occupants on many of the photographs. The date printed on each photograph along with any information included on the back of the photograph and album page itself is included in the page level description.
