at the geographical stricture of the Appalaehaiaa system was a matter of only minor Importance to Guyot is shown by the brieif treatment of his ten years of exploration. A Bibliography of the Great Smokies, tc appear in the June, 1931 issue of Appalachian, the journal of the Appalachian Mountain Club, lists probably all of Guyot's writings on the Appalachian System, The Artioles number four in all. The most detailed in his monograph "On The Appalachian Mountain System" in the American Journal of Science A Arts, Vol. 31, 2nd Series, wh ich summarizes his ten years' work, outlines the geography of the range and lists in sequence the elevation of the several groups in the system. That Guyot regarded his work in the Smoky as only preliminary is quite evident from his comment, "A map of that interesting region" (North Carolina-Tennessee boundary mountains) "on a large scale, and one of the Blaci; Mountains, showing the positions of the points measured, are in preparation and will be published together with the discussion and the results of the barometrical observations, in the Lthaonian contributions, to which I must refer to further details." Guyot, however, was not destined to fulfill his long cherished plan of an extensive monograph for the "Smithsonian Contributions" on the talachian system. His only later work is his "Geogaphical notes on the Mountain Region of the Western North Carolina", transmitted February 26, 1863 to the Director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, D. 0. Even at this time he had not abandoned his cherished project; for Vie asked permission to make a copy of his notes which, he says, will naveHiimW-M a good deal of labor when writing my final memoir for the Smithsonian Contributions". ■ -4-

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.
