High Vistas: an Anthology of Nature Writing from Western North Carolina and the Great Smoky Mountains, Volume Ii, 1900-2009 (The History Press)
George Ellison
From 1900 to the present, facets of the natural history of Western North Carolina and the Great Smokies have been described by various nature writers--including well-known names such as Donald Culross Peattie, Roger Tory Peterson, James Fisher, Edwin Way Teale, Edward Abbey and Scott Weidensaul--who were either visiting for a short while or just passing through. Others in this volume came to stay for extended periods of time or permanently. There are regional describers, environmentalists, ecologists, entomologists, educators, field naturalists, a storytelling herbalist and an anthropologist. Taken together, their descriptions provide specific insights into the region's landscapes, flora and fauna, as well as a sense of wonder at its diversity and beauty. Join local writer-naturalist George Ellison, who resides near Bryson City, North Carolina, in the Great Smokies, for an unforgettable collection of twentieth-century nature writing on the mountains of Western North Carolina, accompanied beautifully by the artwork of his wife, Elizabeth Ellison.
