Charles Lanman's account of his visits to the southern Appalachian mountains in the late 1840's was published in 1849 in the book entitled "Letters from the Alleghany Mountains". The description of his visit to Roan Mountain begins on page 147 and includes a discussion of the Catawba Indians tradition concerning the reasons for the Balds of Roan Mountain.
