broken forest. Beneath the great arches of wide- stretching birches, maples, and oaks, runs the beautiful river, giving name to the valley, making rippling, laughing music in its merriest mood, flecked with sunshine and shadow, between its banks festooned with thick hedge of kalmia and rhododendron; the wildest, most secluded spot east of the Rocky Mountains. The rail will soon reach this valley, and the time will come when the attractions of this locality will draw thousands to enjoy and profit by a sojourn amid these mountains. Farther to the north are the splendid ranges, culminating in the Black, the Roan, the Yellow and Grandfather mountains. The growths upon the upper heights are decidedly Alpine in character and afford a greater variety in plant-life than any other localities in the United States. On top of the Roan, General John B. Wilder has erected a hotel, with accommodations for from four to five hundred guests. Next year the visitor is promised the ascent by a steam- cable-road in connection with the railroad from Johnston City in East Tennessee. The Roan is 6390 feet above the sea and is the highest inhabited spot east of the Rocky Mountains. The temperature has been found to be exceedingly equable and the electrical condition of the atmosphere is claimed to offer certain advantages. This large hotel has been erected in the belief of great benefit to be derived from a considerable long residence here, based upon the experience of several years during which period a small hotel became very popular. An interesting condensed weekly record is the following from the report of James E. Burnett, U. S. Survey Officer, for the three months ending Oct. 15, 1885, station top of Roan Mountain, N. C. Observations were taken at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. daily. It is to be regretted that the amount of rain-fall and clear weather was not recorded :

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.
