Today, while reading a NC tour book, that Mount Mitchell is America's highest mountain east of the Mississippi River - if you don't count island summits. It is a part of the Appalachain Mountain chain and is near Burnsville, NC in Yancey County. It is 6,684 feet high.
I also learned that Boone, NC is named after Daniel Boone - don't know why I didn't put two and two together on my own for that one.
