Some of these are published here for the first time from his sketchbooks. Around his realistic sketches he wrote his complementary travelogues on such subjects as his adventures in the Blackwater Falls region of what is now West Virginia, in the Dismal Swamp, and in the gold regions of North Carolina.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
