Throughout December 2024, several of us are taking part in the 30-Day PPT Coach4aday Challenge. PPT is an acronym for People Places or Things. Each day we share our insights, thoughts, or memories about a person (living or dead), a place (we have visited or learned about) or a thing that intrigues us. Today I am going to write about the WALTON WAR.
There was television show on the History Channel called “How States Got their Shapes”. On one episode about North Carolina, I learned about a war or skirmish on its present-day border over a 12-mile strip of land which today sits in Transylvania County. That incident was called WALTON WAR.
The small tract, or the “orphan strip” as described by some historians, was originally inhabited by the Cherokee.
