A Roadside Guide to the Geology of the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park
by Harry L. Moore
- Among the many titles on regions, states, and parks, this
guide by a geologist follows the usual pattern: a couple of introductory
chapters on geologic terms, history, etc., with the bulk of the
work devoted to the main roads in the park. An unusual quality
of this guide is the inclusion of a few hiking trails, ranging
from a half-mile to four miles.
