I have lived close to this area for almost 30 years, and am just now discovering what this area has to offer. I've been spending a lot of time walking from the forest side of the valley over to the boundary that runs along the Tongue River, and I am seeing some really neat country! There is quite a view of the valley from the top of Brown's Mountain. I really enjoyed the video.

Dr.Charles A.Mayfield grew up there, and sought to practice medicine there after graduating from Meharry in 1956. How ever he was denied hospital priviledges due to racism.Records seem to be scarce!!! Any ideas, leads much appreciated.

When the Secretary's professional qualification standards (36 CFR Part 61) were written, historic preservation as a profession was a relatively new and somewhat vague concept. Over the past 30 years, since the first Master's degree programs were offered, the profession has matured - there are now very clear requirements for the sub-specialties and to continue to ignore the educational and experiential backgrounds necessary to the profession would undermine attempts at modernizing all other areas of the Secretary's standards.
