SWANNANOA GAP |
|
| "We took the eastern train one evening to Round Nob, some thirty miles, in order to see the wonderful railway that descends a distance of eight miles from the summit of Swannanoa Gap (2657 feet elevation) to Round Nob hotel (1607 feet). The Swannanoa summit is the dividing line between the waters that flow to the Atlantic and those that go to the Gulf of Mexico.(1889, Warner, Charles Dudley. On Horseback, p.124) | |
