Whispers Among the Laurels: A Vanishing Culture Book 1
This first collection, written in 1998, captures the everyday lives and rich memories of Western North Carolina’s mountain people. Through personal interviews, readers meet hardworking, honest folks who share stories of first cars and trains, old traditions, joys and tragedies, and the simple ways of a generation now fading. From a 102-year-old storyteller to lessons on ramps, rabbit tobacco, and local folklore, these accounts preserve a culture rooted in resilience, community, and plainspoken truth.
