Highest Mountain in the Great Smokies

Ajutor

Copertina de Marci Spencer: Clingmans Dome (ePUB)

Clingmans Dome towers over the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains as the highest point in both the national park and the state of Tennessee. The mountain holds an ancient allure–the Cherokee treasured it, as did early settlers, and it captivates throngs of visitors today. Scarred by logging, invasive species and modern pollution, the mountain endures. Through lush narratives and fascinating detail, author Marci Spencer presents the natural and human history of this iconic destination, including Senator Thomas Clingman’s 1858 journey to measure the mountain and the 1934 birth of the park.
