Last Train to Elkmont: A Look Back at Life on Little River In The Great Smoky Mountains

Last Train to Elkmont - A look back at life on Little River in the Great Smoky Mountains. - Written by Vic Weals, the first winner of the East Tennessee Historical Society History in the Media Award. - Listening to the people who lived and worked in the Little River basin as his main sources of information, Vic Weals has skillfully recounted their adventures from mountain homestead to logging camp and railroad. His stories and fascinating period photographs record the temporary passing of what was one of the valley's greatest natural resources, its immense stands of timber. Weals concludes with a hopeful account of the comeback of the forest in the years since the creation of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
