The eastern side of the Smokies abounds with spooky tales, like the story of a Shadow Woman who appeared to a farmer each morning and evening to beg for a cup of milk. Skinned Tom is another East Tennessee haunt, though his is a sinister tale that warns the unfaithful to steer clear of local lover’s lanes for their illicit trysting. From the farmer who finds a Cavern of Skulls to a moonshiner who makes a deal with a water demon; and the Half Shaved ghost seeking vengeance to the first (and only) meeting of the Asheville Ghost Club, the Great Smoky Mountains and its foothills abound with spooky tales. My favorites are in this collection.

This book is a documentation of the exhibit entitled Kentucky Rifles of the Great Smoky Mountains held at the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center in Townsend, Tennessee from May 1 through October 25, 2018. The exhibit was sponsored by the Kentucky Rifle Foundation, http://kentuckyriflefoundation.org/ , and showcases southern mountain rifles from Eastern Tennessee and Western North CarolinaThe body of the book provides a two-page layout on each rifle in the exhibit. Each layout begins with a description of the rifle, its builder if known, and the area of the Smokies where it was built. These descriptions are based on the rifles' style and particular characteristics, established by where the builder lived and other similar rifles found in that local area. The description is complemented by a half-dozen detailed photos of the rifle, on a white background. The photos typically show a full-length photo of the rifle, a detail of each side of the butt stock, and top and bottom views. Additional photos are of details such as the builder's signature and patchbox.The book also contains layouts of the four pistols and three accessory sets including hunting bags and powder horns that were part of the exhibit. As an appendix, the book contains a table giving related dimensions for each of the rifles and pistols providing information such as caliber, overall length, barrel length, trigger pull, and drop of the butt plate. This information is especially useful to researchers and contemporary builders. The book ends with a collage of photos related to the exhibit.The book should be of interest to local historians and anyone interested in the Kentucky rifle and its use in colonial America. It should be of particular interest to anyone owning one of these rifles or seeking to learn how to recognize the nuances of southern mountain rifles from the Smokies. The book contains over 175 full-color high resolution photographs of the 23 rifles, 4 pistols, and hunting accessories, in an 8.5 X 11-inch format.
