Zeigler
and
Ben
S
.
Grosscup's
late
19th
century
travel
narrative
, '
Heart

(p

. This
mountain
,
known
as

Mountain
,
is
located
in
Jackson
County
,
N.C
. In
explanation
of the
caption
, the
authors
state
, '
..
.
we
came
out
before
the
massive
front
of a
peculiar
mountain
.
Whiteside
, or in
literal
translation
of the
Cherokee
title
,
Unaka-kanoos
,
White-mountain
,
is
the
largest
exposure
of
perpendicular
,
bare
rock
east
of the
Rockies
.
It
is
connected
,
without
deeply-marked
intervening
gaps
, with its
neighboring
peaks
of the
Blue
Ridge
, but from
some
points
of
observation
it
appears
isolated
-
a
majestic
,
solitary
,
dome-shaped
monument
,
different
from
all
others
mountains
of the
Alleghanies
in its
aspect
and
form
