About the Author

James Edward Brittain (1932-2018) devoted his retirement years to researching and recording historical events in and around Henderson County, North Carolina. These essays were enhanced by his personal recollections of growing up on a subsistence farm at the confluence of North and South Mills River (1932-1949). Gunfights, Dam Sites, and Water Rights is re-published as a tribute to Jim and his extensive legacy as a teller of local history for a new generation of readers.
