Description: Altapass, North Carolina by Judy Carson, Terry McKinney Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The region that is now Altapass was settled in the last third of the 18th century by restless and brave souls of Scot-Irish descent. The most colorful and prolific of these was CharlieMcKinney, a man set upon making a life for himself, his 4 wives, and his 48 children in the Appalachian wilderness. His children intermarried with many families, including the Davenports, Biddixes, Halls, and Wisemans, to establish a community that has survived and thrived in this rugged paradise. Change has often come to the community in sudden bursts, including the arrival of the railroad a century ago, which gave the community its life, name, and most enduring institution, the Orchard at Altapass.

Author Biography Altapass began with the work of authors Judy Carson and Terry McKinney. Indeed, it was Carsons family who purchased the orchard to preserve it in a period of rapid development. McKinney, a well-known local musician, was born and raised in Altapass and is the great-great-grandson of Charlie McKinney. This volume is the result of the generous contributions of many Altapassers who have been willing to share their pictures and stories to keep this wonderful mountain heritage alive.
