Located in the area where North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee meet, Pond Mountain rises to over 4,000 feet. In its valley it holds the Pond Mountain community, a small area in Ashe County, North Carolina. Most of the families that live in the valley have been there for generations, farming the land. Here 31 Pond Mountain residents reflect on their childhoods, families, neighbors, customs and traditions, and the changes that have come to their mountain communities. What emerges is a unique look at a way of life that is rapidly being lost to history.

A real tale of a special place hidden in the hollars,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pond Mountain Chronicle: Self-Portrait of a Southern Appalachian Community (Contributions to Southern Appalachian Studies, 2) (Paperback)
This book is special. My family comes from Mountain City Tenn and I thought no one else was like us. This book chronicles a lifestyle never revealed in the romantic narratives of what most people think of as "the south". As a Delaware Northern Girl, it makes me sad that my parents relocated and I will not live like that.

This review is from: The Pond Mountain Chronicle: Self-Portrait of a Southern Appalachian Community (Contributions to Southern Appalachian Studies, 2) (Paperback)
This book is a treasure for me. Several of the stories are from my family members, including my great grandfather Eli Denney. It is a very real look at the life my ancesters led. Just one thing the last name of Denney is mis-spelled in the book.
