all **** you

native Americans were the first human visitors to Roan Mountain. A Catawba legend tells of a great battle with the Cherokee atop the mountain that left the rhododendron colored crimson and parts of the mountain treeless.[14] While there is no hard evidence that such a battle ever occurred, numerous Native American settlements have been found around the base of the mountain,[15] and the Cherokee settlement of Old Fields stood near modern-day Elizabethton, Tennessee.[16]
