Camping and Woodcraft by Horace Kephart N E W ! Great Smoky Mountains Association has just published a special edition of Camping and Woodcraft, the classic guide to outdoor recreation by the Smokies’ own Horace Kephart. The 888 page book provides indepth instruction and information on hiking, camping, route finding, emergency survival, knots, cabin and furniture making, camp cooking, and more.

GSMA’s edition includes special features not found in previous versions. n

The entire book has been digitized and re-typeset, making it much more readable, especially for mature users. n The book contains over 40 rare photographs taken

by Kephart and his friend George Masa. Many of these photos are from a recently-discovered private collection and have never been seen by the public. n The edition includes an 80-page history of the book and its enigmatic author written by scholars George Ellison and Janet McCue. The writers unveil a treasure-trove of never-before-published information on the author, particularly his nervous breakdown and journey to the Smoky Mountains to heal.

Smoky Mountain Magic: A Novel by Horace Kephart This “lost” novel was completed in 1929, two years before the famous author’s death, and has never been published until now. Smoky Mountain Magic’s fictional story takes place during the summer of 1925, mostly along the Deep Creek watershed in the Great Smoky Mountains, but also in a thinlydisguised Bryson City (called Kittuwa) and the Cherokee Indian Reservation.

Characters include a mysterious stranger, a greedy land baron, a cadre of mountain folk ranging in constitution from stalwart to conniving, a beautiful botanist, a Cherokee chief, and a witch. The novel fits the adventure story genre of the day with a bit of romance interwoven. The front matter of the book features a 22-page introduction by George Ellison which serves as a minibiography of Kephart. Softcover.

Horace Kephart Knife In commemoration of author and park advocate Horace Kephart’s 150th birthday this September, Great Smoky Mountains Association is offering a very limited supply of replicas of the famous Kephart Knife. In his renowned book Camping and Woodcraft, Horace Kephart says: “For years I used knives of my own design, because there was nothing on the market that met my notion of what a sensible, practical sheath knife should be; but we have it now in the knife shown here. It is of the right size, the right shape, and the proper thinness.” Knife maker Glen Brooks of Benton, TN, produced this replica of the knife Kephart used in the out-of-doors and was commercially available at sporting goods stores and by mail order nearly a century ago. #650730 $289.99
