Abstract "Skyland was established in 1887 by Otis A. Miller. This book traces the evolution of this area of southern Buncombe County before and after that date and explores the influence of the families who lived there on its development. It, also, addresses the question of why and how a man from MN had such an impact on this area. Contains some land plats"
