i6 from three thousand to six thousand feet in height. Within an area of fifty miles there are twenty peaks over six thousand feet high; nine-tenths of the entire district is an unbroken, primeval forest of the largest growth, chiefly of deciduous trees. It is the oldest geological formation on the continent, of granitic character, and gives the most unmistakable evidence of the corroding tooth of time. Not a lake or a swamp is to be found in the entire region, a fact perhaps without a parallel for an area of equal extent in the world. Feldspar is the predominating factor in the granite, and, owing to its easy decomposition, the rocks have worn more rapidly, giving an excellent soil for tree growth and the purest of water, as seen in an endless series of pearly, musical rivulets. With a sparse population, such soil and water, there cannot be otherwise than a pure atmosphere. Owing to the difficulties of making railroads in such a mountainous country, until quite recently, the larger portion of this region has been more inaccessible than Colorado, and no part of the United States, east of the Mississippi, equally large, is probably today so little known, or possessed of equal natural advantages, so entirely undeveloped. The possible advantages of a winter residence in this section has, until recently, been untried. Within the last two of three years I have sent a considerable number of invalids to Ashville and other localities, for the most part with excellent results. Owing to my own favorable impressions, I personally surveyed this triangle during the past summer, making several hundred miles on horseback and in carriage. I am indebted to a large number of resident physicians, whose uniform courtesy I am glad to acknowledge, for many of the facts upon which my deductions are based. Ashville was the central point of observation. Its popularity is likely to prove its ruin as a health resort ; too large for a country village, with its purity

Henry Orlando Marcy (1837-1924) was a medical doctor practicing in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1885, Dr. Marcy published this paper, “The Climatic Treatment of Disease” with the subhead, “Western North Carolina as a Health Resort.” His article was often cited by the Appalachian National Park Association as a reason for having a national park in the southern Appalachians. The article was reprinted from the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1885.
