Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1990. first edition. hardcover. Book VG+: toning/offset to endpapers, else clean, tight, unmarked/DJ VG: spine sunned, else clean, unclipped.. 8vo 185pp. from front flap: "Just below the Tidewater area of Virginia, straddling the North Carolina-Virginia line, lies the Great Dismal Swamp, the northernmost of the great southern swamps and one of America's most mysterious wilderness areas. The Swamp has long drawn adventurers, runaways, and romantics, and while many have tried to conquer it, no one has succeeded. [. . .] Now, in this memoir, Simpson mixes personal experience, travel narrative, oral history, and natural history to produce an intriguing portrait of the Great Dismal Swamp and its people. The Swamp has been home to the Nansemond Indians, runaway slaves, lumbermen who removed thousands of majestic cypress and juniper trees, moonshiners, and hunters. Their stories are told here." #01993.
