Overview
From the Lady of Cofitachequi, the Native American chief who tricked Spanish explorers, to “Moms” Mabley, the world-famous comedian who performed at Carnegie Hall, a diversity of people have shaped and been shaped by the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. In these pages, uncover the truth of who set the fire at Highland Hospital that killed Zelda Fitzgerald; discover how Babe Ruth “died” in Asheville and how a fake British Lord ended up embalmed in the window of an Asheville funeral parlor; follow the journeys of 16-year-old Ruth Davidson, who rode 100 miles on horseback to aid Patriot troops in South Carolina, and 14-year-old Bob, who fooled slave catchers as he attempted to escape enslavement.
