A History of Hunting in the Great Smoky Mountains (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Discover the history and lore of this region's legendary outdoorsmen-and their faithful dogs: "Well worth reading" ( Bear Hunting Magazine). Man versus beast-it's an age-old struggle that has been part of the rugged terrain of the Great Smoky Mountains since humans first encountered the region centuries ago. Bob Plott, a descendant of the breeder of the Plott hound and an avid outdoorsman in North Carolina, takes readers on a quest back through time for a glimpse into the minds and the rifles of the region's most intrepid hunters. From the primitive weaponry and prevailing tactics of the Cherokee to the audacious rifle-toting ridge runners, and even a gruesome gang of cannibalistic rogues, these stories are truly a gripping tribute to mountain life and the adventure of the game.
