324 NATURE MAGAZINE FOR MAY • 1931 ASHEVILLE PHOTO CO. WHERE THE CREST-LINE OF THE SMOKIES CLEAVES THE SOUTHERN SKY The beautiful view from Black Rock, revealing the rugged charm of the East's greatest mountains exposed peaks are clothed in verdure topping a felds- pathic humus three to four feet deep which supports a phenomenal tree and plant growth. In the Monadnoc- kean gaps the peat is deeper and this dark, tanbark-like mire constantly influences biological mutations. Old Smoky's great base, cross-currented and braced with countless ridges, is of fused rock, a conglomerate of limestone, quartz, mica, slate and granite. Carboniferous slate at Indian Gap is known to be more than a mile and a half deep. Outcroppings of giant boulders, many of them with great trees growing atop, clutter up a thousand ravines and spurs where crystal trout streams churn their mossy sides with veils of spray as they thunder down into flowered glens. Although North Carolina was at one time tanked second in the mining of the precious metal, the gold which De Soto sought eventually proved to be negligible. Ages ago this gold, together with hot flint, was squirted like hot butter under tremendous pressure into thin paperlike seams of granite or conglomerate. The flint was cracked into great blocks by the chill seawater when the old mountain mass first lifted her shaggy head above the waves to shake out the salt with much hissing of steam and fire. The late Cretaceous Period, one hundred and fifty million years ago, probably observed old Smoky's debut as a mountain range. During the modern years of 1820-30 there were "shaking balds" in Haywood, Rutherford, and Macon Counties that rent boulders apart and split ttees asunder with a terrific belching of hot water and steam. Since those events startled the natives thete have been no quakes and the old mountains have settled down to the more peaceful pursuits of coining natural wonders. The history of this exceptional tange is so closely tied with the colonial affairs of both Carolinas that there is scarcely a peak, gap, or stream that has not recorded its bloody toll of the tomahawk or flintlock. The region might well be termed a cross-section of early American history. Ancient intrigues between England, France, and Spain, with the poor deluded redskin flying from one to the other in the vain hope of rescuing his beloved hunting ground, made it doubly hard on the backwoodsman who sought with his axe and rifle to build an empire free of war-fed palatinates and their domineering tenets. That he had succeeded with the aid of his homemade, straight- shooting Bean and Dechcrd rifles, when England finally bowed her head to the inevitable at King's Mountain and Yorktown, seemed a miracle indeed. Tin severe grilling he received, however, at Rabun Gap, Ruthcrfordton, Sycamore Shoals and Fort Loudon seasoned his random tactics with the Napoleonic foe (Continued on page 348)

Description

Several articles on the Carolinas appear in this 1931 issue of Nature Magazine. The magazine 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.
