Twenty Years of Hunting and Fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains

by Samuel J. Hunnicutt

Twenty Years Hunting and Fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains is a timeless masterpiece that captures the essence of life in rural Appalachia. Samuel J. Hunnicutt's account of his adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a breathtaking portrayal of the beauty and danger of the wilderness. With his unadorned and vivid narration, Hunnicutt takes the reader on a journey through his forty-seven tales of hunting and fishing that reflect his passion for the outdoors. Through Hunnicutt's experiences, we see the hardships of living off the land in Appalachia and the enduring spirit of the people who call it home. His tales are filled with encounters with bears, wildcats, and snakes, and the challenges of making a living in a rugged and unforgiving landscape. At the same time, his stories are also infused with moments of quiet beauty and wonder, as he describes the vibrant colors of fall foliage, the songs of birds, and the sparkling streams teeming with fish. Twenty Years Hunting and Fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains is more than just a book about hunting and fishing. It is a celebration of a way of life that has all but disappeared in modern times. Hunnicutt's words paint a picture of a world that is both hard and beautiful, a place where the bond between man and nature is unbreakable. This lost classic is a must-read for anyone who loves the outdoors or is interested in the history and culture of rural Appalachia.
