An icon of the Southern Appalachian region known for the seminal books 'Camping and Woodcraft' and 'Our Southern Highlanders,' Horace Kephart was instrumental in efforts to create a national park in the Smokies and to establish the Appalachian Trail through North Carolina and Tennessee. This is the behind-the-scenes story of a librarian-turned-woodsman who had a far-reaching effect on wilderness literature and outdoor pursuits throughout North America. (Publisher)
