Summary: "Our Southern Highlanders" by Horace Kephart is an insightful account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the lives and landscapes of the Appalachian region, focusing particularly on the mountaineers of the Southern highlands. Kephart explores the characteristics, culture, and isolation of the people living in these rugged mountains, painting a vivid picture of both their struggles and the stunning natural environment that surrounds them. The opening of the book establishes the historical context of the Southern mountaineers, highlighting their reputation as fierce and solitary individuals often caricatured in literature. Kephart reflects on the lack of understanding of these people by the outside world and sets out to share his experiences and observations after spending significant time living among them. He describes the unexplored beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, their unique communities, and the stark contrasts between the mountaineers' way of life and contemporary civilization, emphasizing their isolation and resilience amidst the rugged terrain.
