In 1893, Lewis W. Murch and his associates formed the American Oblique Manufacturing and City Development Company. In their attempt to entice investors from America and around the world, they developed this Prospectus. Though the hotel, manufacturing plants, and other dreams never materialized, Oblique City stands as a beautiful snapshot of what Wolf Creek, Tennessee (Cocke County) and the surrounding area looked like in the 1890s.
Oblique City contains references to: Minnehaha Cascade (Wolf Creek Falls); mountains, creeks and lakes; trout fishing, the Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina; commerce in Newport, Tennessee; East Tennessee and North Carolina Railroad History, and visions of a temperance city where immorality would be unknown. Includes area history, info about the Allens, the Pecks, and many more individuals and families.
