	Elisha Mitchell and the Black Mountains
		Efforts by the British to establish the Black Mountains as a boundary were futile, and settlers continued to move into the area.
		He was certain enough that the Black Mountains were higher that he noted in an 1829 geologic report that he felt the Blacks were the hishest peaks between the Gulf of Mexico and the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
		This was during the peak of the destructive clear-cutting of Mt. Mitchell and Beeson and Mathis are keen to note the stark contrasts between the wildness of the Cane River Valley, and the unsightly heavily logged eastern slopes of the Blacks.

		This section of mountains covers an area extending from Boone in the north to Mount Mitchell in the south and bordered on the east by the Blue Ridge escarpment and on the west by the Unaka Mountains.

	Division of Parks and Recreation--Mount Mitchell State Park, Park history
		Though botany was the first discipline to be explored in the Black Mountains, it was physical geography, particularly the measuring of mountains, that had the greatest impact on the history of Mount Mitchell.
		At the time, Grandfather Mountain was assumed to be the highest point in the region, but previous trips to the area had persuaded Mitchell that the Black Mountains were higher.
		Subsequent visits to the Black Mountains in 1838 and 1844 led Dr. Mitchell to calculate the height of the peak at 6,672 feet — amazingly, only a mere 12 feet in error of modern calculations.

	Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains, by Timothy Silver. Preface. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		My earliest Black Mountain memories are of summer afternoons spent wading in the South Toe, the distinctive crackle of campfires at twilight, and the not-quite-musty smell of our gray-green canvas tent.
		Though I, perhaps as much as any North Carolinian, think of the Black Mountains as a special place and worry about their future, I initially tried to write about them as if I were a stranger to the region.
		More general readers interested in the Black Mountains for their own sake—including those who have hiked the same trails, slept in the same woods, and fished the same streams as I—may wish to think of the book simply as the story of a unique and wonderful place, one that is, regrettably, very much at risk.

	The Living Beauty of the Black Mountains
		Stephen Thacker and I stumbled upon three days when North Carolina’s Black Mountain Crest Trail was neither locked in clouds, as it is 80 percent of the summer, or blocked by road closures, like it is much of the winter.
		Sixty miles of hiking and horse trails vary in degree from the wild and woolly Black Mountain Crest Trail to the unusual Trail of Four Senses on the restaurant lawn, where blind visitors follow a roped course while cassette tapes interpret points of interest.
		The Black Mountains’ RNA covers 1,263 acres, with more than 3,500 feet in elevation between the flanks of the South Toe River and the summit of Balsam Cone.

		Whether the Black Mountain tortoise population was established from transport across the Colorado River by Native Americans, or by stream meanders in the river before its current channels became established, remains speculative.

	Towards Best Practices (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Though much of the Black Mountains area is in public ownership--within Mt. Mitchell State Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, or Pisgah National Forest, the resulting jigsaw piecing together has left key tracts of land unprotected.
		Because of the large amount of existing public ownership and a current trend of private landowner support, the opportunity exists to better conserve the invaluable pristine lands of the Black Mountains for the greater public via land conservation easements.
		The Black Mountains Program will seek to steer the planning process toward good conservation stewardship with planning, preparation and public input through identification of issues common to all plan alternatives.

	Black Mountains
		The Black mountains lies along the border between England and Wales and basically consists of four long ridges (very good for walking) running north/south connected together at the northern end.
		There are roads running in the valleys but the only access from the north is via the Gospel pass which lies at the northern end of the valley between the two eastern most ridges.
		In the Black Mountains area, part of the Offa's Dyke Path follows the Hatterall ridge (the eastern ridge) and because this is a very popular walk, the National Park have requested that the Panel discourages groups from using it in order to try and help alleviate the erosion problems that are occurring there.

	Wind Of The Black Mountains - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Wind of the Black Mountains apparently is a one man project from some chap in the United States and is meant to rival the most grim and grouchy of the Norwegian fl metal class.
		As for the music, Wind of the Black Mountains is a bit like Twin Peaks in that you come across a lot of beautiful and intriguing scenery yet you never quite know what's going on.
		Sure, fl metal is all about giving Jesus Christ the "up yours" gesture, but when overdone, it's hokey and waters down the potential of the music.
