With the warm understanding of a native, but through the impartial eyes of an outsider, Dr. North Callahan writes of the Smoky Mountain County, its blessings, its short comings.
Dr. Callahan has drawn upon firsthand knowledge, personal interviews and correspondence, and extensive files of newspapers and magazines to candidly, yet poignantly, describe a way of life that is disappearing from the mountains--the folkways, the mountaineers, the superstitions, the Elizabethan speech, the mountain music, and the colorful religions.
From pioneers to atom bombs, this work moves through a vast panorama of Tennessee history.
By reprinting this now-classic book, The Smoky Mountain Historical Society is helping to preserve a part of our past for the generations ahead, a litte bit of how things used to be in the storied mountain country of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
Price is $16.95 SMHS members and libraries ($19.95 non-members) plus postage of $1.25 plus $.25 for each additional book.
