Evocative, richly detailed, and often laugh-out-loud funny, these stories reveal author Helen Hill Norris to be one of the finest unsung storytellers of the American South.
Norris grew up in Horse Cove, perched high in the Southern Appalachians outside Highlands, North Carolina. For a decade starting in 1958 she wrote a weekly column for The Highlander called "Looking Backward." Drawing on her childhood and the tales her elders would tell around the fireplace, Norris conjures a bygone frontier world of covered wagons, gold miners, traveling peddlers, and headstrong shopkeepers. Witness a harrowing Civil War encounter with the notorious Kirk's Raiders. Come along as a six-mule wagon carries a Steinway grand piano across the treacherous Chattooga River. Watch two uncles go to extremes to settle an argument over whether moles have teeth.
Helen Hill Norris tells tales of adventures and escapades in the turn-of-the-century Southern Appalachians.
