William A. Barnhill (November 26, 1889 – December 7, 1987) was an American photographer best known for his work in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina in the early 1900s.  His love of hiking and photography took him to the mountains of western North Carolina between 1914 and 1917.  The photographs he took during those trips have been featured in "American Heritage" and "Life" magazines, as well as in the collections of the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Pack Memorial Public Library of Asheville, North Carolina, and various college libraries.
The Wallin Family is an American family of traditional ballad singers from Madison County, North Carolina.  Their repertoire of Appalachian folk ballads— many of which were rooted in "Old World" ballads traceable to the British Isles— brought them to the attention of folk music enthusiasts during the American folk music revival of the 1960s.  Wallin family members have recorded numerous times over a period of nearly four decades, and have appeared in several independent documentaries.
Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs (February 7, 1898 – February 7, 1971) was an influential old-time singer, songwriter and banjo player.  His style of banjo playing, as well as his singing, is considered a unique combination of Appalachian folk music and African-American blues.  Contemporary folk musicians and performers consider him a seminal figure, at least in part because of the appearance of two of his recordings from the 1920s, "Sugar Baby" and "Country Blues", on Harry Smith's 1951 collection "Anthology of American Folk Music".  Boggs was first recorded in 1927 and again in 1929, although he worked primarily as a coal miner for most of his life.  He was "rediscovered" during the folk music revival of the 1960s and spent much of his later life playing at folk music festivals and recording for Folkways Records.
High Atmosphere: Ballads and Banjo Tunes from Virginia and North Carolina is a 1975 compilation album released by Rounder Records.  The album is composed of Appalachian folk music recordings gathered by musicologist John Cohen in North Carolina and Virginia in 1965.

Opened in 1957, Tweetsie Railroad began as an excursion train ride pulled by steam locomotive #12, the only surviving narrow gauge engine of the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (ET&WNC).  Built in 1917 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, #12 is a narrow gauge 4-6-0 coal-fired locomotive that was used from 1918 to 1940 to haul passengers and freight over the ET&WNC's 66 mi line running through the Appalachian Mountains from Johnson City to Boone, North Carolina.  The name "Tweetsie" was given to the original East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad by area residents who became accustomed to the shrill "tweet, tweet" of the train whistles that echoed through the mountains.  The nickname stuck with the railroad and its trains, and became more identifiable than the railroad's original name.
