Summary: Roan Mountain; A Passage Into a Very Good Book
Review: I was first turned onto Ms. Wilsons book by a co-worker of hers and mine both with the state parks system here in tennessee. I having lived in the area of Roan Mountain was fascinated with the concept of a book that told the history of the peak and thought that I knew all there was to know about the mountain. Knowing Jennifer somewhat personally I called her and got a copy sent to me, she herself had autographed it and put a little message in it for me. I started reading it almost immediately. I waxed off the first 2 chapters during my lunch hour, and finished the rest of it that same night. I found the book to be not only accurate, but informative as to the beginnings and some of the happenings around both the mountain and the state park that is located there. If anyone were to ask me "what book should I read as general interest in appalachia?" I would steer them in the direction of Roan Mountain; A Passage of Time. It ceartainly tops the list as one of my favorite books.
