spending six weeks in the Swiss Alps, studying the movements of glaciers. In 1839 he became a colleague of Agassis as Professor of History and Physical Geography at the college of Heuchatel. The suspension of this institution in 1848 caused Guyot to emigrate to America. A seris of lectures delivered at the Lowell Institute in A Boston, afterwards published as "Earth and Man" in 1853, gave the newcomer a wide spread reputation as a scinetist. The Massachusetts Board 1 A, A of Education retained his service up to 1854 as a lecturer on geography and methods of instruction to normal schools and teachers institutes. In that year he was appointed to the Chair of Physical Geography and Geology at Princeton University. He retained this position up to his death in 1884. Guyot began his exploration of the Appalachian system in 1849, He says of this work: "one of my first labors, on arriving in America, in 1848, was to collect all the.measurements of the Appalachian ^systemwhibh had^b eon. published. Except the elevations determined for railroads and canals, nearly all the more-remarkable heights which had been measured were in Hew .England or New York, that is to say, in the White, Green and Adirondack Mountains. Add to this the secondary heights measured, in considerable number, in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, a few points in Pennsylvania and Virginia, and some rather vague determinations in North Carolina, by Dr. Mitchell, and we have nearly all the hupaometr leal wealth -ttagR then at the service of the geographer.* At this time New England was still vaiiiantly clinging to the belief that nothing east of the Mississippi could ex cede. In height its own beloved White Mountains. Senator T. L, Clingmon of North Carolina was doing heroic work, even on the floor of the Senate, to dispel this 3+£- CO illusion and to bring appropriate reganition to the dominating mountain wilderness on the Tennessee-North Carolina boundary. -2-

This 27-page manuscript recounts the involvement of Arnold Guyot in the Great Smoky Mountains. A geologist and geographer, Arnold Henry Guyot (1807-1884), began his exploration of the Appalachians in 1849. His purpose was to record the elevations of various peaks and develop a systematic geographic outline of the mountain systems of the eastern United States. The manuscript was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Myron Haliburton Avery (1899–1952), was president of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club and chairman of the board of the Appalachian Trail Conference.
