  • This illustration from Wilbur G. Zeigler and Ben S. Grosscup's late 19th-century travel narrative, 'Heart of the Alleghanies,'� is captioned 'The Junaluskas' (p. 316). In recounting a trip to Waynesville, in Haywood County, N.C., the authors comment, 'Majestic mountains rise on all sides into the blue sky. Afar, Old Bald, his brethren Balsams, Lickstone mountain, and Mount Serbal, lift their heads. In lofty outlines, the Junaluska group of Balsams stand black against the glowing western sky' (p. 285).
