Harry Moore Books

Stepping through time to past and present communities, settled in deep hollows and surrounded by ridges and mountains in Tennessee's Appalachia, is to confront a different and disappearing realm. Travel along Hogskin and Richland Valleys. Visit Frenches Mill and Dulaney General Store while passing cantilever barns, one-room school buildings and steepled churches. Listen as octogenarians Robert, Charles, Glenn and others explain life without electricity. Former Cades Cove residents Lois and Inez tell stories of living in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park before it was a national park. Authors Fred Brown, retired journalist, and Harry Moore, retired geologist, explore Tennessee's Appalachian region, recalling its culture, land and people before it vanishes into the abyss of time.

Set during the American Revolution, the story follows Dick Slater and Bob Estabrook, leaders of the Liberty Boys, a group of dedicated young patriots. As they stroll through Wall Street in New York City on a sunny September afternoon, the narrative captures their camaraderie and commitment to the cause of independence. The boys, characterized by their handsome looks and military uniforms, embody the spirit of the era as they navigate the challenges of war and their roles within the Continental army.
