Book excerpt: Resting in one of Western North Carolina's scenic valleys near the continental divide, Hendersonville offers a rich culture and intriguing history in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hendersonville was chartered as a city on January 7, 1847, and the coming of the railroad in 1879 sparked its growth. The summer arrival by train of both wealthy and middle-class visitors bolstered Main Street businesses and gave rise to fashionable inns and innumerable boarding houses. The photographs in Images of America: Hendersonville illustrate the history of a town still populated with founding families, seasonal residents, and summer tourists. This volume explores the early pioneer days, the Civil War period, the land boom of the 1920s, the Great Depression, and the growth of this now-thriving city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “masterfully woven…literary home run” (New York Journal of Books) follows four women across generations, bound by a beautiful wedding veil and a connection to the famous Vanderbilt family from the New York Times bestselling author of the Peachtree Bluff series. Four women. One family heirloom. A secret connection that will change their lives—and history as they know it. Present Day: Julia Baxter’s wedding veil, bequeathed to her great-grandmother by a mysterious woman on a train in the 1930s, has passed through generations of her family as a symbol of a happy marriage. But on the morning of her wedding day, something tells her that even the veil’s good luck isn’t enough to make her marriage last forever. Overwhelmed, she escapes to the Virgin Islands to clear her head. Meanwhile, her grandmother, Babs, is also feeling shaken. Still grieving the death of her beloved husband, she decides to move into a retirement community. Though she hopes it’s a new beginning, she does not expect to run into an old flame, dredging up the same complicated emotions she felt a lifetime ago. 1914: Socialite Edith Vanderbilt is struggling to manage the luxurious Biltmore Estate after the death of her cherished husband. With 250 rooms to oversee and an entire village dependent on her family to stay afloat, Edith is determined to uphold the Vanderbilt legacy—and prepare her free-spirited daughter Cornelia to inherit it—despite her family’s deteriorating financial situation. But Cornelia has dreams of her own, and as she explores more of the rapidly changing world around her, she’s torn between upholding tradition and pursuing the exciting future that lies beyond Biltmore’s gilded gates. In the vein of Therese Anne Fowler’s A Well-Behaved Woman and Jennifer Robson’s The Gown, The Wedding Veil is “a sparkling, fast-paced joy of a book that celebrates love, family, and the right to shape one’s own destiny” (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author).

Book Synopsis Remembering Henderson County by : Louise Bailey
Download or read book Remembering Henderson County written by Louise Bailey and published by History Press (SC). This book was released on 2005-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having written for almost forty years on the cultural heritage that Henderson County holds so dear, Louise Bailey has progressed elegantly from being a valued preservationist of mountain history and lore to becoming something of a local treasure herself. This special selection of essays offers the best of Bailey's work along with some new stories that together offer readers, whether "old-timers" or newcomers to the area, a warm and informative perspective on the history and folklore of the county. We meet a delightful cast of characters whose stories--many of them told in a unique dialect and some dating back as far as the Civil War--tell of a truly independent way of life and of a fierce pride in their traditions. Silas Stepp's letters home from Confederate battlegrounds; Gran'dad Owenby's stories of logging and life in his log cabin; anecdotes from blind, old Elzie Floyd and from Clem the moonshiner; tales of granny-women and the old-time "yarb" doctors: these are just some of the stories that bring the history of this unique county to life.

This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the Hendersonville street grid. It is essentially unchanged since it was laid out in 1847. The town started as the judicial center for Henderson County that was cleaved from Buncombe County in 1838. To the extent that it grew at all in its early days it was as a stopping point on the Buncombe Turnpike that had been carved through the Blue Ridge Mountains from South Carolina to Tennessee in 1827. Main Street where we are standing was part of the Turnpike. The railroad arrived in 1879 and Hendersonville morphed into an agricultural market. Still, by the year 1900 this was only a town of some 1,000 people. What you would have seen looking down Main Street were wooden houses, wooden inns, some commercial brick buildings and plenty of trees and open space. Hendersonville was just beginning to develop as a middle class resort, however. Within the next decade the population tripled, houses moved off of Main Street and the commercial district solidified. By 1929 the wooden buildings were torn down and replaced with mostly two-story brick structures, completely infilled for six blocks. Today you will see one of the most intact early 20th century main streets in western North Carolina.In addition to a Saunter down Main Street this book contains a walk through the town's historic West End. From the time Hendersonville was founded in the 1840s through the early 20th century Main Street was the primary commercial and residential district. In that time there were barely 1,000 residents. The town grew rapidly after 1910 and Main Street filled with businesses. Many of the displaced homeowners built new houses on the West Side. Until post World War II lots were divided and built on and today 244 structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The West Side, containing 111 acres, is Hendersonville's largest historic district. For the most part the West Side extended the street grid created for the city. The lots were often divided neatly into building sites 50 to 100 feet wide. Corner lots were spacious - 400 feet wide by 200 feet deep and many remain large today. No two houses in the west Side look alike. They were created by local builders, some no doubt guided by architectural pattern books. Some were architect-designed. As the West Side neighborhood pushes into its second century, many of its houses would still be recognizable to their original owners. Finally, there is a walking tour of Connemara, known famously as the final home of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Carl Sandburg but has a richer, less-known history that dates back to the days when Flat Rock, North Carolina was known throughout the South as "the Charleston of the Mountains."
