If you are interested in the peoples of the Appilachian region, You must have this book. Mr. Kephart started his research around 1903 and first published this book in 1916. He lived in and around the NC and TN area for many years. He gained so much insight in their lives it's just absolutley amazng. This book has been revised down through the years. This is one of those " I JUST COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN " books. The research he did in the pre-history of the people is extraordinary. This is a must have. Great Book!!!!!!!!!!!
i like the book very much, in excellent shape and i recieved within a few days. horace kephart was a writer who wrote about the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina, he and his friends helped the park become a reality. i am interested in the book because i have hiked in this area for many years on many of the trails Horace helped create and wrote about. the southern highlanders is a book about the region and the people who make up the smokey mountains. he captures the esssence of the mountains and the people who inhabit them with great detail and respect.
Enjoyed reading stories about bear hunting, moonshine and the environment
