Cashiers Valley: Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)

Autor Jane Gibson Nardy, Jan Blair Wyatt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2007
Cashiers Valley, enveloped in the Blue Ridge Mountains with craggy stone faces, thundering waterfalls, majestic forests, and wilderness areas of unique flora and fauna, has always drawn visitors.
Its moderate climate, slower pace, and friendly people have encouraged visitors to stay and, increasingly, to relocate. The residents have preserved a strong sense of place as they embraced the bonds of kinship and community through the years. This is all connected to a powerful religious base and a strong cultural heritage tradition. Today Cashiers Valley retains the charm of an isolated mountain village that welcomes guests. The photographs in this volume were gathered from many
local scrapbooks, long forgotten and yellowing with age. Community residents are eager to share their photographs and memories of days gone by.
