On USGENWEB, there is an interesting letter written by Rev. J.H. Hughes.
The last paragraph reads:
This part of Jackson county is on Sand Mountain which, indeed, is a beautiful
farming country. I can't imagine why anyone hunting a fertile farming country
would want to go west when he could find such a good one so near. Pisgah is a
small town about five or six miles of the Tennessee River. It has four stores,
three churches and a high school. Trusting that our old friends there will
sometimes think of us. J.H. Hughes
