One of the biggest lumber companies in the country set up shop and brought opportunity and prosperity for all. TVA decided to build a large dam to help America win World War II and a once bustling town found itself inconveniently within the boundaries of our nation’s most popular national park. Nominated for a Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award.

“What better topic than a journey into a forbidden realm, complete with witches, robber barons, noble savages and a winsome lady, all wrapped in a cloak of mystery and myth?” asks reviewer Gary Carden. Kephart is featured in Ken Burn’s PBS series on our national parks.

HISTORY A Home in Walker Valley: The Story of Tremont Walker Valley (now referred to as the “Tremont” area of the park) has one of the most fascinating histories of any Smoky Mountain locale. Much of the credit for this goes to “Big” Will Walker, husband to (at least) three wives and father of (at least) 27 children. Will was the quintessential mountain man, able to kill a bear, build a cabin, plough a field, drive cattle, carve a mill stone, and charm a hive of bees. And that’s only the beginning of the story! Then comes the logging boom and a railroad and sprawling “company town” springing up overnight.

Throw in the Girl Scout camp, the CCC, and the environmental education center, and you have an idyllic microcosm of southern Appalachia. Includes more than 30 historic photos. 52 pages, softcover.

By Jeremy Lloyd. Retail $5.95 Order #400841 Corn from a Jar: Moonshining in the Great Smoky Mountains In the Great Smoky Mountains, moonshine making was a world unto itself. On the one hand, moonshining was about dynamite-totting lookouts, fast cars, snitching, quick cash, hidden stills, “revenuers,” and deadly gunplay. On the other, it was a story of earnest farm families living in remote mountain valleys and practicing their traditional craft of moonshining so they could buy shoes for their children. Yet perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this book is the sudden resurgence of making moonshine in the Southern mountains today. Join author and noted historian Dr. Daniel S. Pierce to learn about the traditions, foibles and dangers of mountain “blockading” from the early 19th century to tomorrow.

Carroll Best and the White Oak String Band Features more than 30 tracks, including such old-time favorites as “Tennessee Wagoner,” “Arkansas Traveler,” “Old Joe Clark,” and “Soldier’s Joy,” as well as such modern tunes as “Banjo Boogie” and “Smoky Mountain Melody.” It was the summer of 1956 when linguist and song catcher Joseph Hall made a second trip to the Smoky Mountains after having visited some 20 years earlier. This time he traveled to his friend Teague Williams’ house in the White Oak community of Haywood County, toting a heavy reel-to-reel tape recorder. Gathered in Williams’ living room that July evening was a loose confederation of musicians calling themselves, spontaneously, the White Oak String Band.
