Hickory, N. C, Sept. 4, 1922.
Mr. James S. Holcomb,
Sandusky, O., '
Dear Mr. Holcomb:
Sturcfy Germans, seeking homes in the
New World, obtained from King George grants
of land hi North Carolina and trekked froni New
York and Pennsylvania to the valleys of the Ca
tawba river and its tributaries iri the foot hills,
where they built rude homes in the clearings they
made in the forest. That was the beginning of civ
ilization in this part of western North Carolina,
through which Daniel Boone and other pioneers
hunted the deer and bear, trapped other fur-bearing
animals along the streams and lived lives of
many years 5 ' ,
Jl-' Wtihout realizing it, perhaps; they ipick
ed out a section of country that was to become
famous for its climate. Agriculture arid mariuf ab
tuf-es in time were to produce great wealth, but
this altitude, averaging 1,000 feet above the sea
level, was to be the greatest asset. Transportation
facilities hindered development; the east, nearer
the coasti was thickly peopled before many per
sons1 knew of the great northwest section of the
state.
For twentir-nve yearsMetshbrt period in '
the history of a state the foothills have begun to
attract people for other reasons than agriculture
and manufacturing. The purity of its water and
the wholesomeness of its air, so greatly prized by
residents, attracted people from every part of the
cbuntry, with the result that the population has
been welded with common interests.
: Chief of these interests is climate. Here is
to be found variety. Changes of temperature occur
f rbqjuently V enough to prevent monotony the
weather never remains at one extreme long at a
time; the Head of winter is mellowed by a warm
sun i and the heat of summer is tempered by fre
quent showers alndb i absent
the fog that detracts" f rorh Ihe rnounjtains ; here
never occur those heavy mists which pierce to the
skin in other favored sections of the land.
Here is" to be found verdw
year; out of doors violets bloom in January. The
winter climate of this region is as attractive as
summer,-the air, being dry, is bracing in either
warm or cold weather. Here is to be found Na
ture's great sanitorium, where thousands coming
almost hopeless have found health and remained
to do their part in the upbuilding of the country.
Iri this f avored region tjie sun shines 300
days a year, the natural drainage is so good, f:he
air so invigorating and the water so wholesome
that physicians in less favored sections . advise
their patients lo seek this section a medium be
tween the extreme of the lowlands and the ex
treme of the mountains.
This climate, say those who have investi
gated from Florida to California, most nearly ap
proaches the .ideal of their longing.
