Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all great cities, Asheville's story is one of people, not institutions or industries. For more than two centuries, deep in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, extraordinary women and men have created a truly unique American city. Legendary Locals of Asheville tells the stories of the people who founded, built, and rebuilt Asheville. From the first woman elected to state office in the South, who won her primary before women had the right to vote, to the grandson of a famed railroad magnate who built a 250-room chateau that became the largest home in America, to the entrepreneur who helped ignite the city's renaissance when he risked opening an art gallery downtown when most of it was still boarded up, Ashevillians are an amazing lot. Likewise, there are stories of extraordinary groups like the renowned faculty of an experimental college that redefined the American arts or the brave high school students who joined together to fight segregation. Their stories are as touching and fascinating as they are varied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Need a change of scenery from the hustle and bustle of life? Want the kids to unplug from their devices for a while and connect together as a family? A family weekend getaway in the great outdoors can do wonders for everyone, kids and adults alike. Enjoy easy scenic hikes, float a river, try apple picking or antiquing, go mountain biking, pitch a tent, or explore the local shops along a charming Main Street. The North Carolina mountain towns of Asheville, Brevard, and Bryson City provide the perfect combination of outdoor fun, terrific local restaurants and craft breweries, and charming downtowns. Asheville is an architecturally appealing, fun, artsy town with great restaurants and what seems like a craft brewery on every block. It is the most urban of the three mountain towns, but it's also surrounded by the Blue Ridge mountains with scenic hikes and a river perfect for floating. Brevard is a charming mountain town filled with shops (including a great toy store), restaurants, antiques and art galleries, and even a gem mine. It's located just 33 miles from Asheville. It's also home to Dupont State Forest, which offers plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails to explore. The Hunger Games movie was filmed at Dupont where you can visit Triple Falls, the most recognizable mountain scenery in the movie. Bryson City is another fun outdoor town and possibly the most underrated. Its downtown offers two local breweries, quaint shops and restaurants, and the Great Smoky Mountain Train Depot resides right in the heart of it. Within a 20 minute driving radius of downtown, you have great lakes to swim or canoe, rivers to raft, and hikes to waterfalls. You just can't beat it. This book details the best lodging choices including hotels, camping options, and VRBO listings, local restaurants and craft brewery recommendations, activities that are fun for both kids and adults, rainy day activities, and helpful tips discovered along the way. All organized into detailed, day-by-day plans. Our goal is to help simplify your trip planning by sharing all the details you need for an enjoyable family weekend getaway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two centuries, people have traveled through the mountains of North Carolina to the city of Asheville.

The railway brought an influx of visitors from all over the country, including Northerners escaping cold winters and patients looking for health cures. The advent of the automobile made travel even more accessible, and people flocked to the mountain town for scenery and entertainment. Tourism became central to Ashevilles growth and industry, with many of the towns prominent citizens taking part in the hotel trade and building iconic hotels like Battery Park and Grove Park Inn that attracted famous guests from all over the world. From simple hotels to large grand inns, economical boardinghouses, and accessible motels, Historic Inns of Asheville showcases the citys abundant history of accommodation.

Book excerpt: Authors Sue Greenberg and Jan Kahn once again delve into Asheville's rich past.

This intriguing book continues our journey, this time taking us from the end of World War I to the 1960s. The over 200 rare postcards presented here show how Asheville emerged from a period of hard times brought on by a great flood and a country at war. Once World War I ended, a feeling of newfound freedom overtook Asheville's citizens and the fast tempo of the earlier days soon resumed. Asheville once again became a destination for travelers--this time the automobile brought sightseers to the mountains and many new roadside motels and restaurants thrived.
