| Summary: | Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Paper and Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue. .

It is situated about thirty miles southwest of Asheville, North Carolina, and about the same dist ance southeast of Canton, North Carolina. 'Mount Pisgah can be reached over good motor roads from Asheville, Hendersonville, and Canton. Tens of thousands of tourists visit Mount Pisgah annually, to view from the crest of the peak, or from the highway, the vastness and grandeur of the scenery unrolled before the eyes of the spectator. . Near the top of Mount Pisgah is located the once famous George Vanderbilt Lodge a private place where the late George Vanderbilt used to hide-a-way and rest for a few days during the summer months. During the lifetime of Mr. Vanderbilt, Mount Pisgah and the Pisgah National Forest was a part of the Vanderbilt Estate, consisting of about 150,- 000 acres. • : PUBLISHED BY "THE CHAMPION FAMILY" HAMILTON.
