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.

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.
