Native Americans have occupied the mountains of northwestern North
Carolina for around 14,000 years. This book tells the story of
their lives, adaptations, responses to climate change, and
ultimately, the devastation brought on by encounters with
Europeans. After a brief introduction to archaeology, the book
covers each time period, chapter by chapter, beginning with the
Paleoindian period in the Ice Age and ending with the arrival of
Daniel Boone in 1769, with descriptions and interpretations of
archaeological evidence for each time period. Each chapter begins
with a fictional vignette to kindle the reader's imaginings of
ancient human life in the mountains, and includes descriptions and
numerous images of sites and artifacts discovered in Boone, North
Carolina and the surrounding region.
