Shepherd M. Dugger lived in ?
small cabin located on Beech
Mountain overlooking the village
o f Banner Elk. He attended the
University of North Carolina, and
became superintendent of schools
in Watauga County. L twAW
Mr. Dugger had the, ability .and
ambition to be a writer. He pub
lished a bookwhich Cost $800,
and gave a mortgage on tils pro
perty in Banner Elk to print it.
The result, was that Be lost his
property. At one time the Dugger
family owned all or host of- Ban
ner Elk.
"The Balaam Gloves of the
Grandfather Mountain," written
by Mr. Dugger, has become a col
lector's item and brings a pre
mium considerably above the or
iginal price,' which is believed to
have been $1.
In his writing Dugger nukes
rather frequent classical illusions,
some of which would not be en
tirely familiar to, the average col
lege graduate today.
In his book, "War Trails of the
Blue Ridge," be tells about the
pioneer families of this area, the
Banners, Von Canons, Duggers
and others who settled Banner
Etk and the surrounding area.
There is also quite a bit about the
founding of Leea-Mcftae.
The following is an exerpt from
the above book.
"In 1905 the boy's dejtartment
at the Lees-McRae Institute Was
at Plumtree, North Carolina, and
the girls' department at Banner
Elk was about as flourishing in
numbers as it has ever betfn. Of
evenings the lassie* were paraded
over the town, but were not al
lowed at any time to communi
cate in any way with' the neigh
borhood lads, who classed with
them In the aspirations of young
life. They were officered by a
good lady chaperon Who, accord
ing to reports at the time, looked
to the boys and girls who dialik
ed her discipline, about as civili
sed as a meat saw. Lording oyer
these youngsters of inherited
freedom only awakened in them
i determined resiitence which
was obliged to conquer. When the
lads saw their cherubim lassies
mnj 1 ? i,'. -MW
On their way back they had ?
picnic supper.
Those who participated iq this
trip were: Mr. Day, Mr. Andrew

ed by an argue^yed chaperon,
they would have dlwed into the
fire or risked leaping fro* a ride
on the curled clou da to have
taken them out of her control.
So unjustly disliked ware the
chaperon#, that If they had con
tinued until now, each of these
lady companders would have had
to put PR pant#, Wear side trow

it is common st odd hours to see
