Back of Beyond: A Horace Kephart Biography is the compelling story of the librarian-turned-woodsman who had a far-reaching effect on wilderness literature and outdoor pursuits and who was an important supporter of the effort to create Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Co-authors George Ellison and Janet McCue talk about writing the biography of this complex man. The historical photographs are from the Horace Kephart Family Collection, GSMA.
