To that end hatcheries ar*. ' to be located at strategic points in both coastal and mountain sections, and the people of Watauga, alert to ' the advantages, made strong pull for the location of a hatchery. Proposed sites were investigated but difficulty developed in securing title to a site. { Word was passed around that aban- ' donment of the scheme, so far as I Watatfgfa was concerned was in con-' teinp!ation. Then came forward aj ' public spirited mountain man in thet person of Mr. Bait Cook, with pre-' soniation to t r-< . .ate of sufficient'^ land at tfcuthcriv.?<>d, six mile- from Boone, upon which to establish the! jj hatchery.
