Paths of the Ancients... Appalachia
This journey follows the southern high-lands of the Cumberland/Allegheny Mountains of Kentucky and West Virginia and walks along the crests of the Blue Ridge, Black, Unaka, Iron and Smoky Mountains through Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The rich, lull-color photographs beckon to the region's natural areas and embrace the enfolding serenity of deep forests, cascading streams, and uplifting vistas that recall the spiritual quests of ancestors who viewed the Appalachian Moun-tains as a sacred land to be treated with reverence and awe. A nationally acclaimed photographer, Kenneth Murray's work has appeared in Time, New York Times, People, and Wilderness. 128 PAGES, HARDCOVER
