Stepping through time to past and present communities, settled in deep
hollows and surrounded by ridges and mountains in Tennessee's
Appalachia, is to confront a different and disappearing realm. Travel
along Hogskin and Richland Valleys. Visit Frenches Mill and Dulaney
General Store while passing cantilever barns, one-room school buildings
and steepled churches. Listen as octogenarians Robert, Charles, Glenn
and others explain life without electricity. Former Cades Cove residents
Lois and Inez tell stories of living in the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park before it was a national park. Authors Fred Brown, retired
journalist, and Harry Moore, retired geologist, explore Tennessee's
Appalachian region, recalling its culture, land and people before it
vanishes into the abyss of time.
