Description: A collection of poems and vivid color images that celebrates the connection between the people of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the British Isles from where so many immigrants came in the 18th century and whose descendents now populate not only the hills and mountains of North Carolina and Virginia but much of America. The author Maurice Thomas is an emeritus professor of English at Wingate University, Wingate, NC, where he taught English and creative writing for many years. He divides his time between Wingate and Sparta, NC, located in the beautiful Blue Ridge.
