Casstevens, Frances. Through Some Very Lonely Looking Wood: The Story of a Yadkin County Family's Journey Through Tennessee, NCGS Journal, Raleigh, NC: North Carolina Genealogical Society, May 1990.

Editor's Introduction: During the first half of the nineteenth century, thousands of North Carolinians migrated to new territories west or south.  Their experiences on the road were generally unrecorded, unlik those of the Harding family which were related in a rare family record.  In an article which offers a vivid sense of the challenges and rewards of migration, a Harding descendant illustrates how a researcher may evaluate a document, how a family record can be used, and how such a record can be frustrating as well as informative. Mrs. Casstevens expresses particular gratitude to the Southern Historical Collection at the University of North Carolina Library in Chapel Hill. 

As a child, I often heard the story of how my grandfather, Dr. Thomas R. Harding, had fallen out of the back of the wagon as it crossed a stream and then moved up a steep hill on the Harding family's way to the West . . . 

. . . Only recently did I learn that a diary existed which had been kept on that journey by my grandfather's sister, Keziah Ann.  . . .
