Notă biografică

Julia Davis Adams (1901-1993) was born in Clarksburg, West Virginia, attended Wellesley College, and graduated from Barnard College in 1922. She began her career as a reporter for The Associated Press in New York City, where she also headed the adoption service of the Children’s Aid Society in the early 1960’s. She authored two dozen books.
Christopher Camuto is the author of a rough-hewn trilogy on the southern Appalachians - A Fly Fisherman's Blue Ridge, Another Country: Journeying Toward the Cherokee Mountains, and Hunting from Home: A Year Afield in the Blue Ridge Montains - as well as Time and Tide in Acadia: Seasons on Mount Desert Island. He manages a biodiversity perserve, an 80-acre eco-restoration of old farm fields, woodlots, and wetlands in Pennsylvania.
