Explores the social, political, and environmental changes in the Great Smoky Mountains during the 19th & 20th centuries. Although this national park is often portrayed as a triumph of preservation, Brown concludes that the largest forested region in the eastern US is actually a re-created wilderness-a product of restoration & even manipulation of the land. Park management continues to waffle between shifting views of wilderness, negotiating the contradictory mission of promoting tourism and preservation.

The series New Perspectives on the History of the South provides a forum for the best new scholarship on the ever-changing South. The series emphasizes books that focus on the region's social, economic, cultural, and intellectual history, especially with an interdisciplinary emphasis. The goal of the series is to ask fresh questions about the South and to provide stimulating answers, arguments that in turn add to the ongoing dialogue of historical analysis about that ever-fascinating land, the South.

We followed him down through the friendly woods and none of us said anything until we were almost at the clearing. He stopped, blocking our way, and said, "They got some mountains in California. You ought to see them sometime. But it's not the same." He marched on a few yards before halting again to declare, "Some way or other, it just ain't the same."
