A History of Hunting in the Great Smoky Mountains
Author and local hunting connoisseur Bob Plott takes readers on a quest back through time for a glimpse into the minds and the rifles of the region's most intrepid hunters.
The age-old struggle of man versus beast has ensued within the rugged terrain of the Great Smoky Mountains since humans first encountered the region centuries ago. From the primitive weaponry and prevailing tactics of the Cherokee to the audacious rifle-toting ridge runners, and even a gruesome gang of cannibalistic rogues, these stories are truly a gripping tribute to mountain life and the adventure of the game.

Plott book review
Being a Plott descendant I am always looking for history reads about the culture and heritage of my home place the Great Smoky Mountains. This is certainly an outstanding piece of literature by Bob.
