In the eight states in which
the Southern Appalachians lie are 54 federal wilderness areas. The
wildest of the region's wild lands, these areas are protected from
timber cutting, road building and development, and all are open to
nature lovers.
Journalist Jack Horan
explored every federal wilderness in the mountains of Alabama, Georgia,
Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West
Virginia to gather the vital information about each. But Where Nature
Reigns offers much more than essential facts about these wild
places. It also provides an appreciation of the special beauties and
wonders of wilderness. Whether you are a wilderness adventurer or an
arm-chair traveler, this book is for you.
