💕HISTORICAL READ - Bob Plott: A History of Hunting in the Great Smoky Mountains

MANY HUNTED OUT OF NECESSITY, OTHERS FOR THE SHEER THRILL OF THE CHASE AND SOME WERE THE HUNTED. Man versus beast. It is an age-old struggle, and Lone that has ensued within the rugged terrain of the Great Smoky Mountains since humans first encountered the region centuries ago. Author and local hunting connoisseur Bob Plott 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.
