It's always more rewarding to know someone else has read and gotten something out of all the effort of taking the photos and making the blog post. I've lived in Henderson County my whole life and had not had an opportunity to view such an expanse of waterway here (due to most of it being on private lands), so it was kind of a surprise to me as well. I have often heard of Mr. Fitzsimmon's book, but have not had chance to view it as of yet. Thanks again for stopping by. Thanks for the note, Jim.

I did a Google search for info on the Oklawaha River in Henderson County & up popped your blog. I live in Asheville & was unaware of a river running through Hendersonville until I came across a reference to the Oklawaha. Being called Mud Creek locally is somewhat of a downgrade. My quest for more info on the Oklawaha came from the title of a used book I just acquired . . . "From The Banks of the Oklawaha" by Frank Fitzsimons. The book is an outstanding and most interesting history of people, places and events in Henderson County from pre-Revolutionary times. If you can locate copy, it makes a most interesting read. Again, thanks for the blog. Cheers, Jim Perkerson A most interesting blog. I did a Google search for info on the Oklawaha River in Henderson County & up popped your blog.
