Harpers Weekly, NYT and Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper report, in
1874, that there was concern in North Carolina that a volcano was causing
earth quakes. "A great commotion" was reported including strange sounds from
the ground and shaking. So while Table Rock mountain certainly LOOKS
interesting, the news that Verne may well have worked from to create MW
might well have been the sensationalistic reports about this event;
