The Wild East explores the social, political, and environmental changes in the Great Smoky Mountains during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Review Quotes
"Debunks
the cherished myth of the Smokies as a pristine wilderness snatched
from the brink of destruction to preserve the heritage of the Wild East.
Instead, Brown details how the various, often contradictory approaches
to managing the park since the 1930s reflect competing notions of how
Americans ought to relate to nature."--Blue Ridge Outdoors
"Brown
brings her story to life with pertinent and insightful oral histories
gleaned from the park archives and conducted by the author herself.
Recommended to those interested in environmental history, national
parks, and all of those who love the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
and care about its future."--Georgia Historical Quarterly
