Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains: An Environmental History of the Highest Peaks in Eastern America
"Timothy Silver has written a magnificent history of the Black Mountains, one that fascinates and instructs. He conveys a vivid sense of the natural and human history of these still-wonderful mountains. Even more impressive is the way he relates the two in analyzing the problems and possibilities of life in the Black Mountains in coming decades." - Christopher Camuto, author of A Fly Fisherman's Blue Ridge
