The version of the stories being told in folk lour and then the facts being presented was fantastic. Loved the approach. My family is from Mitchell County North Carolina. Some of the stories I have heard before and hearing facts held my attention. The stories a had never heard kept me spell bound. The book is well worth the read.

Includes names recognized by us later generations. I enjoyed peaking into life in Bakersville when my grandfather and father (Cook) were alive. Bakersville has come a long way today. So beautiful.
