Curious About - Asheville, North Carolina

Why did the architects of the Statue of Liberty, the New York Subway and Central Park put their stamp on this small town? Why did Henry Ford, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Edison all stay in a hotel where it looks like the roof is melting? And how did Scots-Irish immigrants create American country music?
