Description
Trails Through Time: A History of the Blowing Rock Area, 1400 to 1900, with Blowing Rock Voter Registration Lists 1890-1907, by Steve Sudderth, Jessica Cook, Editor
Who were the first tourists to visit Blowing Rock, N.C. and who were the first residents?
Did Spanish conquistadors travel through the High Country nineteen years before the first English attempt to settle the Roanoke Colony?
Who were the English explorers, long hunters, and early settlers of Blowing Rock?
The answers to these questions and other events that led to the development of Blowing Rock as a tourist destination and home to many are found in this book.
Also included are stories of the Civil War, events occurring in and around Blowing Rock between 1400 and 1900 AD, along with early western North Carolina county boundaries, trails, and the first roads.
The first Blowing Rock voter registration book from 1890 to 1907 has been transcribed and is found at the end of the narrative.
Steve Sudderth is a fifth generation Blowing Rock resident who has researched and recorded these stories to help preserve this early history of Blowing Rock.
