"Who Crosses Storm Mountain?: 1911" by Mary Noailles Murfree

Murfree became known for her wilderness fantasy stories, often written under her pen-name Charles Egbert Craddock. For fifteen successive summers the family stayed in Beersheeba Springs in the Cumberland Mountains of East Tennessee, giving her the opportunity to study the mountains closely and inspire her stories. This book shows how, even after frontier travel was starting to be a thing of the past, heading through the mountains in the American south was still an adventure of survival and perserverence.
