Meigs Line
Author: Dwight McCarter
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781935130062
Category : Great Smoky Mountains (N.C. and Tenn.)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Rich with ranger lore, wilderness savvy and tracking expertise, Meigs Line follows Dwight McCarter and Joe Kelley, two retired rangers, on their search for Meigs Line, a survey line that resolved for years prior survey controversies between the Cherokee and American nations in 1802. Using an antique compass, cameras, old maps and a copy of what survives of Meigs' journal, they found very clear, preserved evidence of the survey--albeit only on the mountain tops--and a story to tell about a period in history when two nations worked together to resolve a dispute over territory.

The county is home to Ohio's oldest standing courthouse in Chester and to Pomeroy, the only town in America with no cross streets.
