Book Description:
The North Carolina legislature established Transylvania County in 1861, just as the Civil War began. Although land was donated for the new county seat, Brevard was not incorporated until 1868. The arrival of the railroad in 1894 made possible a burgeoning logging industry and an increase in tourism.
Author Bio: Susan M. Lefler, a Brevard resident for over 30 years, explores a city that has developed an interest in historic restoration and has continued to thrive after the loss of its major industries.
