- More about Bearwallow: A Personal History of a Mountain Homeland
Jeremy Jones moves into a small house above the creek where his family had settled 200 years prior, and he takes a job alongside his former teachers in the local elementary school. He explores the past, unearthing buried treasure, POW camps, Civil War graves, family feuds, gated communities, tourist traps, changed accents, immigrant populations, Walmart sidewalks, and carved-out mountains, and ponders the future. He meshes narrative and myth, geology and genealogy, fiddle tunes, and local color in his exploration of the mystical Bearwallow Mountain.

Across the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, a world unfolds that is both enchanting and intricate. Jeremy Jones and his wife settle into a quaint house perched above a serene creek, where his family had established roots 200 years ago. Embarking on a quest to unravel the profound influence this ancient land has had on its people, including himself, he takes up a job at the local elementary school alongside his former teachers. His journey takes him on a fascinating exploration of the past, where he uncovers buried treasures, POW camps, Civil War graves, family feuds, gated communities, tourist traps, diverse accents, immigrant populations, and the interplay between Walmart sidewalks and carved-out mountains. As he delves deeper, he ponders the future, weaving together narrative, myth, geology, genealogy, fiddle tunes, and the vibrant local color to illuminate the rapidly evolving and often stigmatized world of his native southern Appalachians, with a special focus on the enigmatic Bearwallow Mountain, a peak experiencing a transformative shift.
