I am a folklorist in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and this book is a treasure of true stories. It is written in an easy, personal style so the reader feels as if the adventure was their own!

I contacted the author, Juanitta Baldwin, and obtained permission to tell stories from Smoky Mountain Mysteries on the walking/storytelling tours I conduct. My tour participants love the stories! ...

This review is from: Smoky Mountain Mysteries (Paperback)

I had to read this book because found a connection to some long lost relatives when I received a book - Smoky Mountain Ghostlore - by this same author. Didn't find any from reading the stories in this book, but most were a blast. The writer makes the Smoky Mountains sound like a really neat place, and I plan to vacation there this fall.
