"Our Southern Highlanders" by Horace Kephart is a book first published in 1913 and revised in 1922. Based on Kephart's years living among inhabitants of the remote Hazel Creek region in the Great Smoky Mountains, it offers one of the earliest realistic portrayals of Appalachian mountain life and culture. The work chronicles Kephart's experiences after leaving his librarian career to recover from illness and personal struggles in the wilderness, documenting the customs, environment, and people of this isolated region.
