Cabins in the Laurel (Chapel Hill Books)

Book was in great condition. Beautiful photos and excellent writing.

A great read for those interested in life in the mountain country of the southeast during the early, mid and late 19th century, with some readings reflecting the early 20th century. But bear in mind the great majority of this story is told by a lady in 1928, whose recollections are mostly aboutwhat was rather than what is.If you're looking for examples and guides about how things evolved for these folks, this probably isin't the book for you. It is largely a collection of stories related to the author by those who came long before her.steve

My grandma highly recommended this book! Only complaint she had is that it wasn't hard cover which I don't think is make or break personally

This book still looked basically brand new. So pleased with my purchase.

It was a gift for one of the Seniors that live in a rehabilitation Center. The book is about his family history and he loaned out the first one but the individual passed away and I had to replace it!

I got this book because I would always read it at my great grandfathers house. I’ve looked for a while and I was so happy to find this. The book is pretty expensive so finding it at this price is something I couldn’t turn down

I did like this book although it gets a little draggy. lots of history in this and maps to show what is where today. the Toe river is a beautiful place with some fine fine folks still living there today. they are great neighbors, willing to help out and this OUTSIDER from New York made a place for herself by making friends, learning new ways of doing things. would buy this book again.

If you are interested in the highlanders of Western North Carolina, this book is for you. Written in 1935, it has much detail concerning the lives of these special people. Many great photos and narratives of their personal experiences.
