Retrace Western North Carolina’s cultural and natural history with one of its most beloved storytellers and folklorists, John Parris. Repackaged with an updated cover and back in print for the first time in decades, the Two Hoots Press Heritage Edition includes the complete original text and illustrations of this southern classic.
For almost four decades, John Parris’ brief yet illuminating non-fiction essays comprised his popular Asheville-Citizen-Times column, “Roaming the Mountains.” When a selection of Parris’ columns was first published as this book in 1955, it was an instant regional classic.
Parris writes with the crispness of Hemingway and the grace of Thomas Wolfe. Indeed, he was a war correspondent like Hemingway and a decorated hero for his work with the Belgian underground during World War II.
All proceeds generated through the sale of Smokies Life merchandise go to Great Smoky Mountains National Park to support projects and services.
