A very special thanks to the folklorist Mrs. Minnie Miller, who provided me not only with a fascinating interview on the history of Mountain City, but also a crib sheet to work from. This section would have been impossible without her assistance. If the information contained in the history section is not cited otherwise it should be assumed to have been the product of the aforementioned historical notes graciously provided by Mrs. Miller, or the delightful interview her and her peers NOTE ADD NAMES OF PEOPLE AT INTERVIEW gave me in March of 2021.
