Henderson County is known for its country inns, houses of worship and picturesque landscapes. Behind all the beautiful scenery is a colorful history that runs deeper than any creek or holler. Revel in the family and farming heritage of Edneyville, Clear Creek, Green River Township, Hoopers Creek and Fruitland. Relive the resort era when the region boomed as a tourist destination. Learn how the wee population center of Goodluck came by its name, and inhale the sweet fragrance of apple blossoms that bloom every springtime. Drawing from interviews, documents and a gallery of both contemporary and time-honored photography, author and researcher Terry Ruscin renders his adopted Henderson County in vivid detail.

Part of a three volume set of the history of Henderson County and Hendersonville, embracing a scope of time from an Indian legend of a "Moon-Eyed People, " who inhabited the mountains of Western North Carolina before the Cherokee, up to 1961. For nearly 25 years, in some 5000 programs, Frank FitzSimons told the audience of WHKP radio the story of their county. This compilation of those broadcasts contains hilarious anecdotes and tall tales; folklore and superstitions; history of commerce and people, prominent and not so well known; and more and more of the fabulous stories spun by "the old man on the mountain."
