Smoky Jack
The Adventures of a Dog and His Master
on Mount Le Conte
Paul Adams
Edited by Anne Bridges and Ken Wise
In 1925, Paul Adams was appointed custodian of Mount Le Conte, the third-highest peak of the
Great Smoky Mountains. His job was to welcome tourists, give guided tours, and establish a camp
that would become known as LeConte Lodge, which still stands in what has become America’s most
popular national park. Adams had everything he needed for the job: a passion for the outdoors, a
love of hiking, a desire to preserve the native habitat while welcoming visitors, and the companionship of a remarkable dog.
During his time on the mountain, Adams trained Smoky Jack to be a pack-dog—not just carry-
ing supplies but actually making the four-hour trip to a store in Gatlinburg and back alone. Over the
next nine months, Adams and his dog would become inseparable. Smoky Jack became his assistant,

Southern Appalachian Farm Cooking
A Memoir of Food and Family
Robert G. Netherland
Part cookbook and part memoir, Southern Appalachian Farm Cooking blends staples of
farm-fresh, Appalachian cuisine with stories of life on a large farm in East Tennessee, where
homemade biscuits and harvest vegetables were the fruits of hard work and meager earnings.

Robert G. Netherland begins with the family farm: a sprawling sixty acres of fertile, rolling hills
located in the small town of Surgoinsville, Tennessee, situated between bends in the Holston
River. From there, Netherland guides the reader through threshing wheat, churning butter,
sharecroppers and country doctors, hunting and hog killing, and all the while sharing updated
versions of his family’s recipes for authentic farm-to-table food.
From biscuits to cornbread, freshly shelled beans to red-ripe tomatoes, and savory meats
to the sweetest cherry pies, Southern Appalachian Farm Cooking provides the home cook with
recipes and historical asides to turn any trip to the farmer’s market into a delicious family
affair. In sharing his experiences, Netherland reminds us of a time when prepackaged and
plastic-wrapped food didn’t line our counters and fill our cabinets, but in its place were bas-

kets of seasonal fruit, canned vegetables, fresh baked breads, and hot-from-the-oven cobblers.
Southern Appalachian Farm Cooking is more than just a nostalgic memoir of farming and
food, it’s also filled with healthy, simple, everyday eats for the modern cook.
Robert G. Netherland, now retired, was a healthcare executive at various
hospitals in Tennessee, Alabama, and Maryland. His interest in cooking stems from
being introduced to the toils of the kitchen by his mother and grandmother.

In Southern Appalachian Farm Cooking, a sixth-generation highlander writes from the heart and
captures not only the food and culture of southern Appalachia but also the strength and leadership
of highly acclaimed women. With its country biscuits, pear butter, and leather britches, Appalachia
enjoys an amazing food tradition that is distinct from that of the wider South.”

The Story of the Dulcimer
Second Edition
Ralph Lee Smith
Perhaps no instrument better represents the music of Appalachia than the fretted dulcimer. The
instrument was no longer confined to back porches and local music halls when Jean Ritchie so
melodically thrust herself and her dulcimer into the national limelight during the folk revival of the
1950s. But where did the dulcimer, known to exist in no other folk culture in the world, come from?
In The Story of the Dulcimer, Ralph Lee Smith traces the dulcimer’s beginnings back
to European immigration to America in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. As
German immigrants settled in Pennsylvania and Appalachia, they brought with them scheitholts,
a type of northern European fretted zither. As German immigrants intermingled with English and

Folklore, Appalachian Studies
Scotch-Irish immigrants, the scheitholt, which was customarily played to a slower tempo in
German cultural music, began to be musically integrated into the faster tempos of English
and Scotch-Irish ballads and folk songs. As Appalachia absorbed an increasing flow of English
and Scotch-Irish immigrants and the musical traditions they brought with them, the scheitholt
steadily evolved into an instrument that reflected this folk music amalgamation, and the modern
dulcimer was born.
In this second edition, Smith brings the dulcimer’s history into the twenty-first century
Also of Interest
with a new preface and updates to the original edition. Copiously illustrated with images of both
antique scheitholts and contemporary dulcimers, The Story of the Dulcimer is a testament to the
enduring musical heritage of Appalachia and solves one of the region’s musical mysteries.
Ralph Lee Smith is a musician specializing in traditional Appalachian music and,
along with the late Jean Ritchie, is widely regarded as the leading authority on the
music and history of the dulcimer. He is the author of seven collections of folk songs
relating to the dulcimer. He recently published a memoir/songbook, Greenwich Village: The Happy Folk Singing Days, 1950s–1960s, which recounts his time in New York
City during the folk revival.

spectaculars have overwhelmingly romanticized the assault as an event in which citizen-soldiers—
the everyday heroes of democracy—engaged evil foes in a decisive clash fought for liberty, national
redemption, and world salvation.
In D-Day Remembered, Michael R. Dolski explores the evolution of American D-Day tales
over the course of the past seven decades. He shows the ways in which that particular episode came
to overshadow so many others in portraying the twentieth century’s most devastating cataclysm as
“the Good War.” With depth and insight, he analyzes how depictions in various media, such as the
popular histories of Stephen Ambrose and films like The Longest Day and Saving Private Ryan,
have time and again reaffirmed cherished American notions of democracy, fair play, moral order,
and the militant, yet non-militaristic, use of power for divinely sanctioned purposes. Only during
the Vietnam era, when Americans had to confront an especially stark challenge to their pietistic
Also of Interest
sense of nationhood, did memories of D-Day momentarily fade. They soon reemerged, however,
as the country sought to move beyond the lamentable conflict in Southeast Asia.
Even as portrayals of D-Day have gone from sanitized early versions to more realistic ac-
knowledgments of tactical mistakes and the horrific costs of the battle, the overarching story continues to be, for many, a powerful reminder of moral rectitude, military skill, and world mission.
While the time to historicize this morality tale more fully and honestly has long since come, Dolski
observes, the lingering positive connotations of D-Day indicate that the story is not yet finished.
Michael R. Dolski is a historian with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency in
Hawaii. He is the coeditor, with Sam Edwards and John Buckley, of D-Day in History
and Memory.

Sailing with Farragut
The Civil War Recollections of Bartholomew Diggins
George S. Burkhardt, Editor
Sailing with Farragut, the latest book in the Voices of the Civil War series, shows readers the
war through the recollections of Bartholomew Diggins, a young sailor who fought under U.S.
Admiral David G. Farragut in the battles for control of the Mississippi River.

Civil War
A recent Irish immigrant, Diggins joined the crew of the USS Hartford, Admiral Farragut’s
flagship, at age seventeen and served for three years. Diggins’s memoir, one of a very few written
by a sailor on either side, allows readers to experience a Northern seamen’s daily existence and
the perilous battles he endured during the Civil War. Wounded during the first foiled approach
to Vicksburg, Diggins, his side paralyzed by a guerrilla’s bullet from shore, richly describes the
dangers and damage possible to a ship on the Mississippi. He recalls how action could suddenly shift from the mundane, like washing the decks, to a life-or-death skirmish with a hidden
enemy as his ship passed rebel towns.
Additionally, Diggins describes how surreal war can be, writing of dark nights of smoke
and fire using only the flash of the enemy’s guns to steer clear of the treacherous banks, of

desperate crowds of slaves clambering for safe passage, and of a fire raft 150 feet long, filled
with burning pine knots, set on a course of destruction among the Union’s ships.
Each chapter features an introduction by editor George S. Burkhardt, who adds careful
research and useful background information to the tales that follow. For historians of the Civil
War, this book will deepen their understanding of brown-water warfare and put a face to the
stories of victory and loss. From the bloody skirmishes around Vicksburg to Farragut’s disaster
at Port Hudson and on to his victory at Mobile Bay, Sailing with Farragut gives readers a vivid
view of life on the Mississippi during the Civil War and keen insight into the leader, officer, and
man that was Admiral David Farragut.

L. W. Diggs was a pioneer in sickle cell disease research.
He was there almost from the beginning when SCD was introduced to
Western medicine in 1910, and Diggs’s contributions to SCD knowledge

L. W. Diggs, Sickle Cell Anemia, and the South’s First Blood Bank
Richard H. Nollan
In 1929, Lemuel Whitley Diggs arrived in Memphis as a newly minted physician from the Johns
Hopkins University School of Medicine. Rather than establish a private practice, which would
have been a lucrative endeavor in a modern city such as Memphis, Diggs took a position as one of
the first full-time faculty members with the University of Tennessee Medical Units, a position that
afforded Diggs access to both patient care and clinical research, and a decision that would later
define his career. As part of his position, Diggs saw patients at the Memphis City Hospital, a poor,
inner-city facility constrained by Jim Crow laws and racial bias. He immediately recognized a high
rate of sickle cell disease among his patients, a disease Diggs had been taught was rare and one
laden with negative racial attributes. Diggs’s study of sickle cell disease would lead him to confront

ANNOUNCING
A NEW SERIES
America’s
Baptists
Keith Harper, Series Editor
The America’s Baptists series will explore this important denomination’s history in all of its
complexity. Baptist history is both an important part of the main currents of religious history
in the country and a unique story—or, rather, a series of unique stories—that reflects ecumenical, political, social, and certainly theological characteristics that, in many ways, are deeply
American at their core. Many of these works will be historical monographs, but the series will
embrace different types of primary and secondary works, including, but not limited to, annotated collections of diaries, letters, and personal reflections as well as biographies and essays.

Fundamentalism, Fundraising,
and the Transformation of the Southern
Baptist Convention, 1919–1925
ANDREW C. SMITH
Scholars and journalists have paid significant attention to the contemporary Fundamentalist tendencies of southern Protestantism. However, many studies neglect to consider how the Fundamentalist controversies that roiled the Baptists and Presbyterians of the North during the 1920s affected
the Southern Baptist Convention schism of 1970–2000.
Fundamentalism, Fundraising, and the Transformation of the Southern Baptist Convention,
1919–1925 explores the scope and character of the interaction between Southern Baptists and early
Fundamentalism during the late 1910s and early 1920s. By focusing more closely on the Southern Baptist Convention, Andrew Christopher Smith examines the interaction between the northern

Fundamentalist movement and southern religion during the era. Though scholars agree that Fundamentalism is not native to the South, no book thus far has considered the effects of the Fundamentalist movement and how it influenced southern Protestant denominational organizations, independent of southern rejection of Fundamentalist-sponsored interdenominational evangelistic and
educational institutions. Smith proposes that Fundamentalist ideas, lingering in the atmosphere of
the South after wafting there through hearsay, national religious periodicals, and the secular press,
Also of Interest
likely influenced Southern Baptist self-understanding during this critical period.
Examining documentary evidence, Smith explains that following the First World War,
Southern Baptists pushed toward bureaucratization. The “Seventy-Five Million Campaign,” a fundraising and organization-building drive that the convention approved in 1919, was the denominational movement through which the selective appropriation of Fundamentalist ideas occurred.
Exploring the interplay of Southern Baptist claims and northern Fundamentalist precepts, Smith
fills a void in scholarly examination of early-twentieth-century Baptist history.
Andrew C. Smith is assistant professor of religion at Carson-Newman University.
His articles have appeared in Perspectives in Religious Studies, Baptist History and
Heritage, and Tennessee Baptist History.

ignore the church’s clergywomen for the roles they played and the contributions they made to
the fracturing of the largest Protestant group in the United States. Ordained women are typically treated as a contentious issue between the parties. Only recently are scholars beginning
to take seriously these women’s contributions and interpretations as active participants in the
struggle.
Anatomy of a Schism is the first book on the Southern Baptist split to place ordained
women’s narratives at the center of interpretation. Author Eileen Campbell-Reed brings her
unique perspective as a pastoral theologian in conducting qualitative interviews with five Baptist clergywomen and allowing their narratives to focus attention on both psychological and
Also of Interest
theological issues of the split. The stories she uncovers offer a compelling new structure for
understanding the path of Southern Baptists at the close of the twentieth century. The narratives of Anna, Martha, Joanna, Rebecca, and Chloe reframe the story of Southern Baptists and
reinterpret the rupture and realignment in broad and significant ways. Together they offer an
understanding of the schism from three interdisciplinary perspectives—gendered, psychological, and theological—not previously available together. In conversation with other historical
events and documents, the women’s narratives collaborate to provide specific perspectives with
universal implications for understanding changes in Baptist life over the last four decades.
The schism’s outcomes held profound consequences for Baptist individuals and commu-
nities. Anatomy of Schism is an illuminating ethnographic and qualitative study sure to be
indispensable to scholars of theology, history, and women’s studies alike.

messiness of democratic deliberation in an ecclesial context and the evolution of a people ever

Selected Writings from the Negro World, 1923–1928 seeks to fill this void by making her writings

Editor Louis J. Parascandola compiles a wide swath of Jacques Garvey’s work in this
groundbreaking collection. Born and educated in Jamaica, Jacques Garvey’s atypical opportunity to receive education at elite Jamaican schools, along with her later jobs as a clerk and
secretary, prepared her for future positions as journalist and political administrator. She also
possessed the rhetorical skills and independent thinking that would help her challenge Marcus
Garvey and the other men in Garvey’s organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA). In allowing Jacques Garvey’s work to largely

speak for itself, the volume reveals that she concerned herself with a diversity of important and
often controversial political and social issues rather than the stereotypical domestic matters
expected of most woman’s pages of the time period.
By examining her selected writings in the Negro World, this volume affords its readers a
better understanding of Jacques Garvey’s powerful contribution not only to Garveyism but also
to the growth of Black radical thought, anti-imperialist ideology, and the rights of third-world
women. This timely study sheds new light on Jacques Garvey’s pivotal role as a Black female
writer and thinker during the twenties.

Dismantling Slavery
Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Formation
of the Abolitionist Discourse, 1841–1851
Nilgün Anadolu-Okur
In 1841, William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass formed a partnership that would last a
decade and forever change the abolitionist movement. Throughout the stages of their extraordinary alliance, anti-slavery mobilization was accelerated, reaching its height between 1841 and
1851. Centering their arguments on emancipation, women’s equality, and suffrage, the two men
worked tirelessly to publicize and recruit for their cause. Their work initiated a new discourse of
social reform and critique, positioning the abolition of slavery at the center of progressive social
concerns throughout the first half of the nineteenth century

and Garrison—simultaneously. While underscoring the evolution of abolitionist discourse, Dismantling Slavery unveils the true nature of the friendship between Douglass and Garrison, a key
ingredient often overlooked by scholars. Drawing on the writings, speeches, and experiences that
shaped the two as abolitionists, Nilgün Anadolu-Okur’s groundbreaking study is one account
of the ways in which abolitionist discourse was shaped and put to the purposes of moral and
democratic reforms. In addition to turning a close eye on the relationship between Douglass and
Garrison, Anadolu-Okur also details significant developments that occurred in tandem among

other abolitionists and activists of the era, making for a compelling account of this pivotal decade
in American history, up until the dissolution of Garrison and Douglass’s partnership.
Dismantling Slavery represents a significant interdisciplinary contribution to the study of
abolitionist discourse and will appeal to a wide range of nineteenth-century scholars.

American Literature, Film
In a writing career that branched into drama, poetry, fiction, and journalism, film was a constant
for James Agee. In love with movies from early childhood, he flirted with filmmaking and screenwriting in the 1920s and ’30s, became a respected movie critic in the 1940s, and by late 1950 was
working on a script with one of the directors he most admired, John Huston. His death at age
forty-five would come only five years later but not before he had written several other screenplays.
Volume 4 in The Works of James Agee series presents the writer’s two most famous screen-
plays: for The African Queen, his collaboration with Huston, and for The Night of the Hunter,
the only film ever directed by actor Charles Laughton. Not only does the book offer both the first
draft and final shooting script for each work, it also features meticulous annotations by editor
Jeffrey Couchman and a wealth of archival material, similarly annotated. Included, for The
African Queen, are variants of key scenes; relevant fragments by two other writers, John Collier
Also of Interest
and Peter Viertel; and notes that Agee wrote from his hospital bed while recovering from a heart
attack. The result is a remarkable window into the complex process by which a story is shaped
and reshaped before the cameras roll. Most notable about the section on The Night of the Hunter
(which Agee did not live to see in its final form) is the inclusion of the never-before-published first
draft, rediscovered in 2003. This debunks forever the myth that Agee had produced a massive,
unfilmable mess that Laughton discarded and rewrote from scratch. In fact, Laughton preserved
essential structural elements of Agee’s script along with important dramatic and visual ideas that
originated with Agee and not with Davis Grubb’s source novel.
The African Queen and The Night of the Hunter stand today as undisputed Hollywood clas-
sics: the former a wonderfully comic adventure tale with delightful star turns by Humphrey Bogart
and Katharine Hepburn, the latter a unique, noirish fable in which Robert Mitchum’s “Preacher”
emerges as one of cinema’s most unforgettable villains. For Agee scholars, film scholars, and the

The Legacy of the Moral Tale
Children’s Literature and the English Novel, 1744–1859

The moral tale was foremost among the new genres of children’s literature that emerged in
Britain during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Written expressly to impart
moral lessons to their young readers, such tales had a profound impact on the generation we

now know as the Victorians, including such esteemed novelists as Charles Dickens, William
Thackeray, and George Eliot.
In this original and discerning study, Patrick Fleming traces the rise and subsequent
impact of the moral tale through the works of representative authors like Thomas Day, whose
Sandford and Merton was a perennial best-seller, and Maria Edgeworth, whose stories Queen
Victoria herself was reading on the eve of her coronation. We then see how the popular “Newgate novels” of the 1830s, a genre portraying the lives of criminals, adapted the moral tale’s
narrative conventions to guide readers’ reactions to the characters’ vices, and how Dickens,
from Oliver Twist (1837) through such later writings as Hard Times (1854) and Great Expectations (1860), developed his own brand of experiential didacticism, which clearly had roots in
Also of Interest
the moral tales he read as a child. By 1859, Fleming shows, the impact of the moral tale began
to decline amid growing skepticism over systematized education and as Darwinian theory complicated the link between experience and character.
Scholars studying Victorians’ childhood reading have typically emphasized fairy tales and
eighteenth-century novels rather than works especially written for children, while children’s literature scholars have focused on the “Golden Age,” which began around 1860 and is epitomized
by such works as Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). However, as The
Legacy of the Moral Tale makes clear, children’s literature began long before the Golden Age,
and the moral tale was prominent among the genres the Victorians remembered. In revealing this
long-overlooked connection, the book expands our understanding of the history of the novel and
highlights the moral instruction to which nineteenth-century readers were accustomed.

“
Patrick Fleming reveals an important link between the rise of the children’s moral tale and
Victorian novelists. Just as Harry Stone’s Dickens and the Invisible World showed the influence
of fairy tales on Dickens’s work, Fleming’s The Legacy of the Moral Tale explores the ways that
Dickens’s childhood reading of moral tales influenced the creation of his novels.”

Native American Landscapes
An Engendered Perspective
Edited by Cheryl Claassen
This collection of essays focuses on what Cheryl Claassen terms the “multi-vocal” landscape—the
idea that different groups and genders look upon the same natural features but perceive different
meanings and potential in what they are seeing. Through ten chapters, various contributors showcase the ways in which native peoples see, and interact with, the natural world. At the heart of this
book is the idea that Europeans associated nature with the feminine and saw the natural world
as a passive frontier to be dominated. Native Americans, however, looked at landscape differently. They saw nature as a place in which to engage in complex negotiations between spirits and
humans. This approach to nature cemented a relationship to the land based more on a partnership

rather than subjugation.
These essays deepen our understanding of the interaction between native people and the
land. While other books focus on the gendered gaze of European men upon the landscape, this
collection emphasizes that native men and native women looked upon natural formations and
constructed landscapes differently from one another, a difference in perception that is important
for archaeologists and anthropologists to understand. While there have been advances toward
admitting this more complex view in the rest of the world, Native American Landscapes is the
Also of Interest
first to focus on how native men and women viewed the world around them.
Native American Landscapes is organized by region, taking readers across the country from
the rock shelters of the Cumberland Plateau, in the east, to the Mojave Desert and the Mexican
Gulf Coast, then north to what is now British Columbia and farther west to Hawaii. Readers of this
collection, through a study of creation myths, vision quests, fertility shrines, and other ritualized
uses of landscape, will learn more about the land and about humans’ perception of our natural
surroundings, which forms the bedrock of our present relationship with the natural world.

A bill to recharter the Bank of the United States passed Congress in July, and Jackson
vetoed it with a ringing message that became the signature document of his presidency. In
November, Jackson, with new running mate Martin Van Buren, won triumphant reelection
over Henry Clay. But only days later, South Carolina nullified the federal tariff law and began
preparing for armed resistance. Jackson answered with an official proclamation that “disunion
by armed force is treason.” The year closed with Jackson immersed in plans to suppress nullification and destroy the Bank of the United States.
Embracing all these stories and many more, this volume offers an incomparable window
into Andrew Jackson, his presidency, and America itself in 1832.

are currently edited by Michael David Cohen, research assistant professor of history
at the University of Tennessee. The project is supported by the National Historical
Publications and Records Commission, the Tennessee Historical Commission, and
the University of Tennessee Press. These first three volumes—10, 11, and 12, covering
July 1845 to July 1847—are part of a long-term effort to digitize the entire collection.
These three volumes document a vast variety of topics that occupied the Polk
presidency, including the Mexican-American War, the annexation of Texas, the
establishment of a boundary between Oregon and Canada, the adjustment of tariffs
on imports, treaty negotiations with the Kingdom of Hawaii, increased sectional
conflict over slavery, and Polk’s purchases of slaves for his own Mississippi plantation.

fascinating account of the movements of the Ninth Indiana Regiment—a unit that saw as much
Also of Interest
action as any through the war—and readers will come to know the men and leaders, the deaths
and glories, of this group from its most insightful observer.
Using Bierce’s writings and a detective’s skill to provide a comprehensive view of Bierce’s
wartime experience, Coleman creates a vivid portrait of a man and a war. Not simply a tale of
one writer’s experience, this meticulously researched book traces the human costs of the Civil
War. From small early skirmishes in western Virginia through the horrors of Shiloh to narrowly
escaping death from a Confederate sniper’s bullet during the battle of Kennesaw Mountain,
Bierce emerges as a writer forged in war, and Coleman’s gripping narrative is a genuine contribution to our understanding of the Western Theater and the development of a protean writer.
Christopher K. Coleman has written extensively on American history and culture,
as well as military history. Two of his five books currently in print are related to the
Civil War: Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War and The Paranormal Presidency of
Abraham Lincoln.
