Sheppard began visiting her neighbors and forming friendships in remote coves and rocky clearings, and in 1935 her account of life in the mountains -- \u003ci\u003eCabins in the Laurel\u003c\/i\u003e -- was published. The book included 128 striking photographs by the well-known Chapel Hill photographer, Bayard Wootten, a frequent visitor to the area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe early reviews of \u003ci\u003eCabins in the Laurel\u003c\/i\u003e were overwhelmingly positive, but the mountain people -- Sheppard's friends and subjects -- initially felt that she had portrayed them as too old-fashioned, even backward. As novelist John Ehle shows in his foreword, though, fifty years have made a huge difference, and the people of the Toe River Valley have been among its most affectionate readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new large-format edition, which makes use of many of Wootten's original negatives, will introduce Sheppard's words and Wootten's photography to a whole new generation of readers -- in the Valley and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1928 New York native Muriel Earley Sheppard moved with her mining engineer husband to the Toe River Valley-an isolated pocket in North Carolina between the Blue Ridge and Iron mountains.
