About this product

Product Information

Historian Jeremy Cobb is backpacking on the Appalachian Trail, attempting to retrace the tragic journey of eighteen-year-old Katie Wyler, who was captured by the Shawnee after the massacre of her pioneer family in Mitchell County, North Carolina. In late summer, Katie escaped from a Shawnee village on the banks of the Ohio, and followed the rivers through the wilderness to find her way home - a brave journey that ended in sorrow. Jeremy, a city-bred graduate student with no trail experience, is determined to complete his scholarly quest, unaware that his journey will be both a trial of hardships and a mystical experience. He does not know that the spirit of Katie Wyler is still seen wandering the hills, trying to get home. Mountain wise woman Nora Bonesteel sees her every autumn "when the air is crisp and the light is slanted and the birds are still." Hiram Sorley, known as Harm, is also at large in the Appalachian wilderness. Sorely, who has escaped from the Northeast Correctional Center in Mountain City, Tennessee, is the focus of a wide-spread manhunt involving most of the area's law enforcement officers. There's just one problem: nobody wants him caught. Harm has become a folk hero. Sheriff Spencer Arrowood feels sorry for Harm, imprisoned for life for killing a hated local bureaucrat. There is even some doubt about Harm's guilt. Besides, the elderly convict has Korsakoff's syndrome, a disease that robs its sufferers of their recent memories. To Harm, it is always 1967. Harm doesn't even remember the crime. For Martha Ayers, who wants the job of deputy, catching Harm Sorely would be the best way to prove her fitness for the position. Harm, an Appalachian Don Quixote on the edge of reality, meets both Jeremy and the still-wandering Katie Wyler on his journey back to a home that isn't there anymore. He is the "last moonshiner," holding the dream of an unspoiled wilderness in the fragile web of his delusions. When he goes, it will be lost forever.

    McCrumb weaves lore and fact seamlessly

    Normally, I would feel that a book like this, with so much lore and ghosts in it would be too fantastic for me to really like. But i did really like this book. I think maybe it's because I feel that our region is kind of a breeding ground for myth. It's easy to believe that spirits are in our hills when the mist starts to coil around the trees and the moon filters through leaves and fog. I truly think that we live in a magical region and I think that McCrumb sees this too. This book delves into a little bit of Indian lore and weaves contemporary aspects like radio shows and man hunts into a really coherent tapestry. This book didn't lose my attention, and even though it was fantastical, it was still kind of believable, too.

    Title represents the backdrop of the base reasons for how people often react in a given moment.

    Holds the reader to the end and is very hard to put down. All the characters are fleshed out and you get to know them well. The mystic part of it is compelling and not overdone so I enjoyed it immensely. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good, well thought out mystery set in a background of history, a touch of the supernatural and a lot of human interaction with the mystery of how each would react when put in unique circumstances.

    She Walks These Hills

    I read this book in paperback and wanted a hardback copy to keep. The story takes place in East Tenn. I am familiar with the area and have a house in the general area. I like to have a collection of books, fiction and nonfiction available for my friends and guest to read. I enjoyed this author and look forward to reading her other books.
