Question Dear Mr. Margot:
I live and work up here at Wolf Laurel next to Big Bald Mountain, 5,516 feet in elevation. Big Bald looks like an extinct volcano and I was wondering if Jules Verne had any particular mountain in mind up here when writing "Master of the World". Second if there are any prints etc. showing the NC volcano.
I read where you are Swiss, we just returned from working near Geneva in the Jura Mountains last May. We have 2 daughters down your way at UNC Chapel Hill.
A very short answer is fine. Thank you for your efforts.
Best regards,
