"This long-awaited biography of Horace Kephart is so well written and informative that one reads it with the pleasure of a riveting novel and an admiration reserved for the finest scholarship. Back of Beyond is a triumph." ~Ron Rash, author of Serena
"With affection and candor, McCue and Ellison reveal an intimate knowledge of Kephart's ancestry, education, marriage, and career, his place in American literature and history, and his part in the founding of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park." ~Robert Morgan, author of Boone: A Biography
"This meticulously researched and carefully considered book is a great contribution to the history and culture of the Southern Appalachians." ~Charles Frazier, author of Cold Mountain, winner of the National Book Award for Fiction
George Ellison has written extensively about Horace Kephart and was designated one of the 100 most influential people in the history of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In 2012 he won the Wild South Roosevelt-Ashe award for "Outstanding Journalism in Conservation." Janet McCue, an independent writer and researcher, has collaborated with Ellison and others on many Kephart projects. Her writing and research reveal Kephart's multi-faceted life as student, husband, father, librarian, writer, and public figure. She is the former director of Mann Library at Cornell University.
All proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit the educational, historical, and scientific programs of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
