Indian Hunter, Deer Killer, And Dog Responsible For Naming Hanging Dog (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following article by John Parr is appeared In the Asheville Citizen. It explains how an area in this vicinity receiv ed its name.) By JOHN P ARRIS HANGING DOG? This one is about an Indian hunter named Deer Killer and a dog: of question able pedigree.
