Belled Buzzards, Hucksters & Grieving Spectres: Strange & True Tales of the Appalachian Mountains

by Gary Carden, Nina Anderson

The Southern Appalachian Mountains have forever been a region of mystery, wonder and legend. And in their isolation, it was only natural that the people who inhabited this rugged and beautiful land would treasure story telling. Collected here are stories that mountain people have told and retold for generations - stories of ghosts and belled buzzards that foretell death; stories of murders and hangings, of strange happenings and humorous events; stories, too, of some of the remarkable people these mountains have produced. Most of these stories are true; some are legendary - but all are enthralling. --- from book's back cover
