Diversion Magazine By Jan Peyton A little over a hundred years ago Brevard was a little settlement in dense forest land, ranged over by the wandering and warlike tribes of i Cherokees and Catawba’s.

They roamed through the Sapphire Country, hunt ed in the dense forests and fished "n the streams. They were less savage than most of their race, but they re garded white settlers as invaders, and there were many bloody conflicts un til they were forcibly moved to new zation.
