No other book on the Southern Appalachians is more widely known or cited.
"Awonderful book. I like it especially for its color and anecdotes. It is a classic, not only for its accuracy and breadth of insights into the people of the region, but because these people themselves are so interesting and strong."
―Annie Dillard, author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Before coming to the mountains, Horace Kephart (1862-1931) served as librarian of the prestigious Mercantile Library in St. Louis. His significant work, however, was done after he came to live in the Southern Appalachians in 1904. He played important roles in the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Appalachian Trail.
George Ellison is a writer, naturalist, and historian living near Bryson City, North Carolina, adjacent to the Smokies and the Eastern Band of Cherokee. Ellison was named one of the one hundred most influential people in the history of Great Smoky Mountains National Park."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Tenth Printing. 474 pages, including an Introduction by George Ellison and a preface to the Revised edition, 20 chapters and an index. There is one crease across the entire spine. On the bottom of the page edges there is a bookstore book stamp and on the top of the page edges there is the beginnings of some brown spotting (very light). There are a relatively small number of markings in the margin, perhaps where someone stopped reading or alternatively maybe an important paragraph is being marked, I am not sure. This is a long and rather heavy softcover work, that is in rather nice condition overall. This classic southern appalachian book that is widely known, read, and respected was first printed in 1913 and has been reprinted many times since. Available for immediate shipment, carefully packed!
