A wonderful book.
I happened upon this gem of a book at my local library. Jut a few pages into I was hooked. John Parris visited the mountain people of Western Carolina, picking up charming stories, old knowledge and interesting history along the way. I read about things in this book that I would have never found otherwise. The book appears to have been written in the 1960s or early 1970s. You read of know-how from generations past that is becoming more and more scarce as time goes by. If you can find a copy of this book, it is well worth your time and money.
