HISTORICAL TRIVIA

The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.), 11 Nov. 1880


	Mr. Walter F.L. Steele and James T. LeGrand, Esq., were crossing Mountain Creek bridge near Grassy 
Islands, on Sunday last in a buggy, the bridge fell in, but fortunately they escaped without injury. The 
buggy was mashed up and the horse badly hurt, which we believe was all the damage that was sustained by 
the accident.

The semi-weekly messenger [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.), 15 March 1898	
	Several hundred shrubs and plants from the nurseries at Biltmore have arrived here, the gift of 
George Vanderbilt of the state. It is stated that all will be set out in the grounds of the executive 
mansion and none in the capitol square. Vanderbilt's gardener will supervise the work.
