Description

Arnold James Hyde’s (1914-2010) first draft of a handwritten account about visiting relatives is titled “A Visit to Aunt Addies – 1919.” Hyde recounts traveling by horse and carriage with his parents, Troy and Rilla, and siblings over Stecoah Mountain to Tuskeegee to visit Rilla's sister Aunt Addie and Uncle Tom. There are two drafts of this story and this version includes a section titled “A Mountain Man” about Forest Denton from Snowbird that is cut off near the end. It also includes a list titled “Enka Investment Club” and expense information from the year 1987. Hyde was born in Graham County, NC, graduated from Robbinsville High School, and then later from Western Carolina Teachers College (Western Carolina University) in 1938. He married Dorothy Roberts, of Buncombe County, NC, in 1943, and they had two daughters.
