On the Spine of Time: A Flyfisher's Journey Among Mountain People, Streams & Trout

By Harry Middleton

Book Overview

This powerful story of one angler's adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains is a descent into wildness, a meditation on the landscape bathed in greenness and truth, and the discovery of a people living 'on the spine of time." From the solace of mountain streams to the frenetic bustle of Gatlinburg, one of Tennessee's great tourist towns, this memorable journey summons readers to confront the joys and sorrows of life through a new understanding of our place in nature and its process.

A dream of a nature book like no other

I am not a fly fisherman, but this book has initiated me into the religion. Great rich nature writing that can make you drunk and great characters that will make you smile and reflect. I love this book.
