Rooted Deep in the Pigeon Valley: A Harvest of Western Carolina Memories - Paperback

by Carroll C. Jones (Author), Edie Hutchins Burnette (Foreword by)

Nestled in the ancient mountains of western North Carolina, near Asheville, lies a fertile and historic valley carved by the brawling headwaters of the Pigeon River. Home to Cherokee Indians, pioneer settlers, Civil War volunteers, to farmers, adventurers, and industrialists, the Pigeon Valley has claimed a firm place in the hearts of its residents as well as in American history. Carroll C. Jones captures the spirit of this unique mountain community and chronicles the lives, accomplishments, and folkways of its people-preserving its portrait in word and image for generations to come.
