Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a captivating journey through the mountains of Georgia, focusing on the beauty and the history of the region. It is a blend of travelogue, social commentary, and historical exploration, capturing the landscape, the people, and the legends that linger in this wild and untouched corner of the United States. The author's account unfolds like a series of letters sent from the field, detailing his experiences as he journeys through valleys and encounters the people who have made their homes amidst these rugged hills. His vivid descriptions paint a picture of the dramatic waterfalls, the looming mountains, and the untamed rivers, but he also delves into the rich culture and history of the Cherokee Nation, whose presence is felt throughout the region. The author also reflects on the gold rush that transformed this part of the country, and the enduring impact it has had on the lives of the people. He recounts tales of fortune and misfortune, of dreams fulfilled and dashed, as he reveals the complexities of life in a place where the allure of riches clashes with the beauty of nature. The book is a testament to the enduring power of landscape and culture, and offers a unique glimpse into a time and place that has since been reshaped by the forces of progress. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330970461_0
