Our Southern Highlanders: A Narrative Of Adventure In The Southern Appalachians And A Study Of The Life Among The Mountaineers

Meer over het boek

The narrative explores the enigmatic nature of the Southern highlands, particularly the Great Smoky Mountains, highlighting the author's struggle to find reliable information about the region prior to their first visit. Despite extensive research, the absence of contemporary guides, articles, or even fiction reflecting local knowledge underscores the area's obscurity. This lack of resources suggests that the mountains remain largely unexplored and underrepresented in literature, contrasting sharply with the wealth of information available for more distant locales.
