| Tweetsie Country |
| By : Mallory Hope Ferrell, Casey Holtzinger (Illustrator), Mike Pearsall (Illustrator) |
Tweetsie Country can be roughly defined as being bound on the north by the Great Depression, on the east by the state of North Carolina, on the west by Tennessee, and on the south by hope and determination. The East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad was born in this Blue Ridge Mountain country more than a century ago. In the 1880s it was called the "Stemwinder," and later, the "Eat Taters & Wear No Clothes." But it was the children (who rode the swaying cars to numerous summer camps) who christened it with the name that lasted: Tweetsie! This handsome pictorial history includes 250 outstanding photographs, plus maps, scale draw-ings, and three full-color paintings by Mike Pearsall and Casey Holtzinger.
