| Big Bald | on the Yancey County, N.C.-Unicoi County, Tenn., line. Peak in Yancey County is at the N end of Hensley Ridge. Alt. 5,516. Known by the Indians as Sasseenohla (white man). Previously called Grier Bald for David Grier, spurned lover of the daughter of Col. David Vance. He lived there from 1802 until 1834, when he was killed for having killed a hunter who "trespassed" on the mountain. Much of the mountain is covered by mounds, ranging from the size of a football to a bushel basket, that emit a hollow sound when struck. Scientists theorize that the mounds are the rotted roots of balsam and spruce trees blown over by a storm centuries ago. See also The Arm. |
