Description
Many have seen Grandfather Mountain, but few people know it well. Now come visit the Grandfather Mountain in its complete history, and full stature as one of the world's great mountains. Grandfather Mountain: A Profile travels back to the origins of this living entity, then traces its unique development -- geological, meteorological, natural, prehistoric, and modern humans -- to the present day, where it still stands alone as the grand patriarch of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The author, Miles Tager, is a staff writer and editor for the Mountain Times in Boone, North Carolina. Tager has won numerous awards for journalism. He lives in Linville, North Carolina, at the base of Grandfather Mountain, with his wife Sharon and three children.
