First Wagon Brought Through Saluda
Gap In 1893, Historian Reveals In
Citing Long Battle To Improve Roads

way. Some of the first were in
geniously made of hickory sap
lings twined around the front
axles of the wagon and then
around the rear wheels. Locking
chains were sometimes used on
the wheels, and another way of
retarding the down-hill progress
, was to cut trees and drag them
along behind the wagon.
In 1875, the Legislature of Ten
nessee appointed commission to
act with the States of North and
South Carolina in investigating
the possibility of building a road
to serve the three states, by way
of Saluda Gap. By 1900, stock
raisers of Tennessee and Ken
lucky annually drove large herds
of cattle, hogs and even turkeys
over this route to markets further
south.
AS early as 1912, great inter-
est was centered in the mountains
of this section as news of gold
mining activities spread abroad,
and new streams of travel were
being directed along every road
leading into places where prospec-
tors had any hope of finding the
pot at the end of the rainbow
About this same time, COM
pany had been formed and as u
means of attracting buyers to the
immense boundaries of land &C
, Quired by it, a nationwide ad-
vertisinS campaign was launched,
setting forth in extravagant terms
al! the advantages Of coming to
Western North Carolina.
With this added impetus, South
Cardinals Legislature voted $4,-
900 to continue the road from
Columbia on up the mountain
through Saluda Gap. North Caro-
lima issued bonds to complete this
road within the boundaries of this
state. Stage coaches established a
regular schedule between Ashe-
vile and Charleston, bringing an
ever-increasing stream of travel
lers.
This old state road, known
even today as the Buncombe road,
has meant more in the develop
ment of Western North Carolina
from the time it was first trav-
ersed by man down to our time
than any one factor in its history.
Leading as it did, and does today,
from Charleston, through Hen
Jacksonville and on to Asheville,
endless throngs have come and
gone over it; modes of travel
have progressed until the trip of
four to six weeks in a covered
wagon has become the ride of five
or six hours by car.
No mention can be made of
this old State road without paus-
ing to pay tribute to the man who
did so much to bring it to the
highest state of perfection posi-
BILE in his time. While too few
have given him the recognition
Justly his, there are many who re-
gard him as one of the greatest

has ever produced,-and Western

the services he rendered perhaps
even more than his own home

A'ANS- oADIE -. IA YIN
Since the first white men stood
at the foot on the Blue Ridge and
sought for a way of scaling its
,neights, the mountain roads have
oeen the biggest problem facing
those who have fought to wrest
TINS primitive region from its nat
urai state and reshape it to fit
ton.
The kind of men who have
wrought, the travellers from the
SWINE herd and cattle drovers to
those who journeyed by stage
coach' the soldiers who marched
across the divide on this avenue
OF approach, as we'll as the men
who have chosen the road at the
Saluda Zap as a place to settle
their dlterences on the field of
honor. form some of the most
sclntlllatlng bits in the history of
the western part of the state.
| When the Revolutionary war
had ended and settlers began To
push into Western North Caro-
lima, the Saluda Gap became the
cOncentric point toward which all
efforts were directed in building
roads into this part of the state
As early as 1893. We find it re-
corded as an outstanding achieve
ment that a wagon had been
brought through Saluda Gap and
into what was then Buncombe
county; and one of the first set
tiers was looked on as a public
benefactor when he devised the
method of placing the large wag-
on wheels on the lower side, then
pushing, pulling and carrying the
vehicle across the mountain. Men
cheerfully paid his fee of SIS for
this service in order that they
might reap the greater benefit of
bringing wagons into an other
wise impossible country.
These roads and trails, steep,
rough, and often dangerous, were
the only means of communication
between the sparsely settled clear
ingS in the country and furnished
the sole access to the outside
world. Pushing the trails forward
into the unbroken forests must be
carried on, if this virgin country
was to be tanned and opened for
colonization, so this work became
of first Importance.
1t has been said so often that
it has become a tradition that the
first settlers wanting to lay out a
new road, drove one of their ami
mails to the lowest gap in the
mountain, allowed it to pick it's
way down on the other side, the
would-be road builders following
and stalking out the path chosen
by it. .
Power and tools were almost
impossible to obtain for road
building in those times, dynamite
and blasting powder were still UNI
known. The ridges offered the
routes easiest of construction be-
cause the timber of the crests
was light and scattered, and most
important of all, wagons found
safer passing on the more level
mountain tops. Going was none
too easy there, and brakes had to
be contrived in more than one

Future generations should new
er be allowed to forget the debt
they owe to the efforts of this
many-sided man when he after
ward became a member Of Van
Buren's cabinet. He was one of
the founders Of the National Mu-
scum of Natural History, and it
was through the influence of this
organization during the time Joel
r. POinsett was its president that
the Smithsonian Institute was
finally incorporated by an Act OF
Congress in 1S45. James Smith
son in 1926 had devised his en-
tire estate to the United States
of America to found the Smith
sonian Institution, an establish
ment for the increase and diffu-
sion of knowledge among men,
Without the influence of Poinsett
and his organization, this fund no
doubt would have been used for a
school or some other project Of
far less benefit to the nation in
general.
| When the Civil war enshrouLed
the country, most of the noun
tain passes were fortified, SO that
the roads could be protected
against all danger of destruction
at the hands of invaders.

fict, when Western North Caro-
lima between the Tennessee line
and the South Carolina border
was the siege ground for Federal
troops under Kirby and Gillian
against North and South Carolina
forces, under General Martins

thrown up at Saluda Gap to pre-

of these cid trenches and breast
works are still.to be seen, by turn

going down the old road.
Porter's battery was defeated
on the old Buncombe highway
during the days when this section
was suffering at the hands Of
StOneman's men on the south and
Kinks on the north.
While the busy streams of traf-
fic are rushing along over the
