About the author
Ben S. Grosscup is credited as the co-author, with Wilbur G. Zeigler, of The Heart of the Alleghanies; or, Western North Carolina, a wide-ranging work that explores the landscape, history, resources, and local stories of the region.
Beyond that published credit, confirmed biographical information is limited in the sources I could verify. Because of that, it is safest to remember Grosscup primarily through this collaborative book and its lasting place in regional writing rather than through a fuller personal record.
