This is a history of the origin and growth of a town with a Northern climate set high in the South. It embodies a collection of matchless characters and personalities and their stories that have given the town and its history remarkable color and enduring interest.
"Packed with archival photographs, this well-written narrative chronicles the development of Highlands and evokes the town's charm. With the author's exhaustive attention to all details, from the smallest to the largest, the book will undoubtedly become the definitive history of Highlands, N.C." -Walter T. Evans, N.C.
