bow trout, which was so much enjoyed on your side of the mountain, especially in Forneys Creek and Deep Creek. Tennessee has so much to learn from North Carolina in the way of fish and game protection. Young Nimrod's Trophy When we reached Mr. Parton's home, he seemed exceedingly astonished that we had undertaken to go straight across the Smoky Range from south or north by Clingmans Dome. He stated that he had lived in that vicinity all his life and had never known of any one coming across that way, declaring that to go across by the trails was bad enough. He wished us good luck on our way homeward, and as a parting gift presented me with the skull of a 2-year-old bear which was killed by his 10-year-old son. The boy, accompanied by a brother, discovered the bear up a chestnut tree last autumn. He was so busy gathering chestnuts that he did not see his enemies until they knocked at his door, so to speak, at the foot of the tree. One of the boys started to the house to get aid from his father. When Bruin saw that his guard had been divided, he thought it a favorable time to make his escape, but the little fellow took a pop at him with his target rifle "to make him stay up till Pap could come," as he expressed it to me. The bear tumbled out, and the boy took a whack at him with the butt of his gun, and, much to the chagrin of the young hunter, the bear shuffied off down the mountain side. When the father came with the dogs, they found his bearship lying dead only a short distance away, the tiny bullet having penetrated a vital spot. I expect to mount the skull for my den and to frame the picture of this young Nimrod to adorn the walls. Of course, many interesting incidents occurred on our trip going over from the Tennessee to the North Carolina side, but most of these I have already related to you in person. In conclusion, I wish to again express my high appreciation and the keen enjoyment derived from reading your many articles on the Southern Appalachians, and in which you accredit the good mountain people with their true noble virtues. When you finish your new book, which I believe is to be entitled "The Highlands of Dixie," I trust your humble servant may be favored with a copy, which I assure you, will be placed alongside your other much prized works in my library. With best and kindest wishes for your future welfare and success, I remain, very sincerely your friend, __A A CHABUg Comments on Mr. Chable's Letter /"By Paul Flnk^-5 The name of Horace Kephart, tcfwhom this letter was addressed, is indissolubly connected with the Great Smokies, not alone from the fact that his name has been given to one of the higher peaks, but mainly because he, for many years, was the chief "press-agent" of these mountains, writing of them, praising their majestic grandeur and charm, and that at a time when their very existence was unknown to the world at Kephart was a librarian by training and experience, with an enviable reputation as a writer on historical and outdoor subjects. When he suffered a breakdown in 1904, he sought for the most remote spot possible to find, hoping there to rebuild his shattered health. He settled on the North Carolina slopes of the Great Smoky mountains, making the choice largely because of a complete dearth of data on the region available on the library shelves. To the day of his death he lived in the shadow of Smoky's peaks, identifying himself completely with the mountains, their people, and their ways. Deep in the backwoods, he did not forsake his writing. In 1906 there appeared his Book of Camping and Woodcraft, and encyclopedia on LIBRARY GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK
