On the Spine of Time: A Fly Fisher's Journey among Mountain People, Streams and Trout

This powerful story of one angler’s adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains is a descent into wildness, a meditation on the landscape bathed in greenness and truth, and the discovery of a people living ‘on the spine of time.” From the solace of mountain streams to the frenetic bustle of Gatlinburg, one of Tennessee’s great tourist towns, this memorable journey summons readers to confront the joys and sorrows of life through a new understanding of our place in nature and its process.
