Sita nf ffiigtnry
By JOHN PARRIS, Jr.
Colonel William H. Thomas,
statesman, Confederate officer,
railroad builder, farmer and pio
neer, born February 5, 1805, at
the very begining of frontier colon
ization in Western North Caro
lina, was one of the most colorful
and famous characters this section
of the South has ever produced.
A few days before he was born
his father was drowned in a stream
in North Georgia. His father came
to North Carolina prior to 1800.
The boy grew up into a busy and
productive manhood. He read a
great deal and at hisde°th in 1893
had acquired one of the best
privately owned libraries west of
Raleigh. He also farmed a great
deal and acquired thousands of
acres of mountain lands. He stud
ied law under the famous John C.
Calhoun.
A colonel in the confederate
armies, he led “Thomas Legion”
and was one of the last officers to
surrender his company. He also
was the oldest colonels in the ser
vice of the Confedeeate States of
America.
Like many other noted men of
this state, Colonel Thomas entered
politics early in his career. He
served in the State Senate from
1849 to 1861 when he resigned.
He was a first cousin of General
Zachary Taylor, leader of the
American forces in the war with
Mexico, and also was related to
the Madison family of which
James Madison, a president of'the
United States, was a member.
Colonel Thomas was actively
interested in the building of the
Western North Carolina railroad.
Several years before the road came
through the mountains, he gave
the site for the Dillsboro depot.
Colonel Thomas was the adopt
ed son of Yonaguski, famous
Cherokee Chief, and a close friend
to the Indians in Western North
Carolina, He owned a farm on
the Tuckaseigee river two miles
from Whittier which was called
‘“Stekoa” by the Indians. Here
his mother lived with him to a
greatly advanced age.
J’ames Thomas, a son of Colon
el Thomas, lives in Waynesville.
He is a former member of the
state legislature and is now writing
a book on the Thomas Legion.
