Located just seconds from the winding Tennessee border, the remote
mountain settlement of Lost Cove, North Carolina was once described
as where the "moonshiner frolics unmolested." Today, Lost Cove is a
ghost town accessible mainly to hikers hoping to catch a glimpse of
the desolate settlement. In this first historically comprehensive
book on Lost Cove, the author paints a portrait of an isolated yet
thriving settlement that survived for almost one hundred years.
From its founding before the Civil War to the town's ultimate
decline, Lost Cove's history is an in-depth account of family life
and kinship in isolation. The author explores historically relevant
interviews and genealogical findings from railroad documents, old
newspaper articles, church records and deeds. Also included are
oral histories that provide authentic, conversational accounts from
families in the cove.
