The Man Who Moved a Mountain

History & Biography

“A classic: The Man Who Moved a Mountain does for the Blue Ridge what Mark Twain's tales did for the Mississippi. But much more than that, it offers Americans an authentic hero with a Daniel Boone brand of courage and an Abe Lincoln brand of humor. I defy anyone who starts reading it to put down this salty, swift-moving biography of an unknown giant who was born and lived among whiskey-stilling, trigger-happy mountaineers. It's a funny book, a moving book, and altogether true. It belongs in every home in America.”
