This intriguing collection of essays results from writer George Ellison’s thirty-year fascination with Western North Carolina and its Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains.These essays offer a window onto the rich heritage of this stunning and oft-misunderstood region. Hear stories in a distinctly Appalachian tone and glimpse into the mountain life and lore through a diverse cast of characters. Develop a new language fit for mountain life, and begin to understand the roots of the names Crooked Arm, Deeplow Gap and the Boogerman Trail. See the world through the eyes of the ancient Cherokees, for whom the Nantahala Gorge, was a "chasm of horrors" associated with the "uktena, " a mythic serpent from the dreaded Under World.
