Family Gems: A Pictorial Treasury of Western North Carolina Ancestors features beautifully designed ancestral trees, museum-quality montages, genealogical DNA charts and over 200 restored vintage photographs encased in bejeweled ruby frames.The historical pictorial coffee table book gives long overdue homage to five family lineages in Western North Carolina--the Lynchs, Burnettes,Freemans, Paynes and Stepps,families that reigned in the early settlements of Black Mountain, Lake Lure, Rutherfordton, Edneyville, Hendersonville, Shiloh and Cherokee, North Carolina. The book is filled with distinctive stories and biographical sketches, many depicting tri-racial ancestors that were born in the early to mid-eighteen hundreds. Due to the inaccuracy of the period¿s census records in documentation of race, often ancestors who were tri-racial (White, Cherokee Indian and African American) were listed as ¿colored¿ or ¿mulatto.¿The well-crafted heirloom comprises a fascinating glimpse at hard-working multi-cultural mountain kinfolks--including midwives, furniture craftsmen, blacksmiths, farmers, moonshiners, coal miners, and herbalists. Reflecting over a decade of work, the 420-page hardbound volume is a well-crafted tribute to the families depicted, and some of their most memorable family gems. The sacred volume celebrates the lives of dozens of Western North Carolina family icons, such as George Washington Richard Henry Lee Payne (1838-1927),one of the original blacksmiths at Biltmore Estate in the late 1800s. His original handwritten letters from the 1890s are depicted. You will find strength, humility and inspiration in Black Mountain legend John Myra Stepp (1850 ¿1955), a former slave who rose to become a major property owner and ¿the first black man of means in the valley.¿We¿re introduced to prolific midwife and herbalist Mary Stepp Burnette Hayden (1858-1956).Had Mary been born in 1958 instead of 1858, her legacy could have very well been that of a physician, pharmacist or president of her own holistic nutrition company. The heartwarming portrayals show a hardworking, proud and resourceful band of families who through times good and bad, shaped by their circumstances, managed to carve out modest livelihoods in a fascinating multicultural mountain region. Historical sites and landmarks of relevance to families depicted are also featured.

North Carolinian newspapers referenced Dr. and Mrs. Hunt over 450 times between 1880 and 1924. As Transylvania County’s Health Officer, Dr. Charles Washington Hunt implemented progressive public health reforms and led one of the state's more aggressive campaigns against the horrific 1918 Flu Pandemic. His promotional efforts helped to develop several beautiful mountain resorts, and he successfully advocated for many local civic improvements. His wife, Henrietta Anderson Hunt, was the proprietress of the Hunt Cottages of Brevard, and this narrative provides the most detailed history to date of that popular hotel. Mrs. Hunt also commissioned large construction projects in Hendersonville, NC, and St. Petersburg, FL. The Hunts were dedicated to their region - caring for its residents and welcoming many of its visitors for four decades. (Recipient of a 2018 Book Award from the North Carolina Society of Historians)

Although African Americans make up a small portion of the population of western North Carolina, they have contributed much to the area's physical and cultural landscape. This enlightening study surveys the region's segregated black schools from Reconstruction through integration and reveals the struggles, achievements, and ultimate victory of a unified community intent on achieving an adequate education for its children. The book documents the events that initially brought blacks into Appalachia, early efforts to educate black children, the movement to acquire and improve schools, and the long process of desegregation. Personnel issues, curriculum, extracurricular activities, sports, consolidation, and construction also receive attention. Featuring commentary from former students, teachers and parents, this work weighs the value and achievement of rural segregated black schools as well as their significance for educators today.
