Oblique City : Wolf Creek, Tennessee / American Oblique Manufacturing and City , Thomas Andrew Peck.

Summary:

"In 1893, Lewis W. Murch and his associates formed the American Oblique Manufacturing and City Development Company. In their attempt to entice investors from America and around the world, they developed this Prospectus. Though the hotel, manufacturing plants, and other dreams never materialized, Oblique City stands as a beautiful snapshot of what Wolf Creek, Tennessee (Cocke County) and the surrounding area looked like in the 1890s. Oblique City contains references to : area geography; mountains, creeks and lakes ; the Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina ; commerce in Newport, Tennessee; and visions of a temperance city where immorality would be unknown. This first of its kind Historical Reprint contains original pages with 42 illustrations, maps, and portraits. Index added"-- Provided by publisher.
