Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Giant of the Blue Ridge The Giant of the Blue Ridge Ike Huck was in his blacksmith shop (Perched on the snow-bound mountain top) - A sooty den it was, like lair Of beast within a coal mine bare. From the rude forge a lurid light Reveals his presence to the sight. Great is his height; his eyes that dream Seem downward to the fire to stream; Like knotted rope the muscles stand Upon his folded arm and hand. Here on the mountain he had grown To greater strength than man had known, Yet dense his ignorance - the bear As much of letters knew. Yet there Were moments when with flood of pain Great knowledge came to knock in vain; Then sonant beatings of his heart, Like hammer on the iron dart, Seemed urging him to some wild deed, Suggesting some Icarian creed. And paean in his brain would ring Of thought beyond his uttering. A knock resounded on the door, He stepped across the grimy floor. A stranger entered; it was cold; His coat was thick, his bearing bold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Some require no hike at all, while others can only be seen from the trail. When you add hiking to a waterfall, you double your pleasure. Most trails in this book could stand alone, but they are even better when combined with the chance to visit a waterfall. Covering the mountainous region along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge takes you into two states, three national parks, three wilderness areas, four national forests, eight state parks, and more! The waterfalls are grouped together by location and appear in geographic order, north to south. The full-color guide provides the information you need to choose which waterfalls to visit. Take a quick look at the hiking distance and the level of difficulty. Then read the hike description, so you know what to expect. Maps, driving directions, and GPS trailhead coordinates help you get there, and professional photographs offer glimpses of the beauty that you’ll encounter on the trail. Waterfall hiking in the mountains of the Blue Ridge is a marvelous way to experience the great outdoors. With this guide as your reference, you can seek out a different waterfall every time or hike to your favorite falls, time and again.

Download or read book Blue Ridge Commons written by Kathryn Newfont and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the late twentieth century, residents of the Blue Ridge mountains in western North Carolina fiercely resisted certain environmental efforts, even while launching aggressive initiatives of their own. Kathryn Newfont provides context for those events by examining the environmental history of this region over the course of three hundred years, identifying what she calls commons environmentalism--a cultural strain of conservation in American history that has gone largely unexplored. Efforts in the 1970s to expand federal wilderness areas in the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests generated strong opposition. For many mountain residents the idea of unspoiled wilderness seemed economically unsound, historically dishonest, and elitist. Newfont shows that local people's sense of commons environmentalism required access to the forests that they viewed as semipublic places for hunting, fishing, and working. Policies that removed large tracts from use were perceived as 'enclosure' and resisted. Incorporating deep archival work and years of interviews and conversations with Appalachian residents, Blue Ridge Commons reveals a tradition of people building robust forest protection movements on their own terms."--p. [4] of cover.
