In the Snowbird Mountains and Other Stories
Appalachian author Robert Morgan delivers eight new stories about life and legends in the mountains of Western North Carolina. An alligator in in the deep woods of a state park? Ghosts? The mob? Robert Morgan takes readers into the mountains where Spanish Conquistadors once hid out, where cougars and thieves stalk their prey, and where a rock with strange markings can conjure the unexpected.
