Death in the Great Smoky Mountains: Stories of Accidents and Foolhardiness in the Most Popular Park (Death in the National Parks)

Good book to read about mistakes not to make in national parks.

This is another great book in the Death in the National Parks series. While author Randi Minetor has written a number of them, this edition by author Michael Bradley is equally compelling. Rather than just list names and reasons, this book gives the compelling stories of those who lost their lives and several who were fortunate enough to be rescued. An excellent storyteller, you feel as if you have met all the participants. There is also an interesting connection regarding Captain Chesley Sulllenberger and a relative readers will find interesting. I found this book hard to put down. An excellent addition to the series in a slightly different format. A thought provoking read.

I very much enjoyed reading about some of the very areas where I fished without the mishaps of the said victims. It was a scary place for one who has actually observed Sasquatch!

We visit the smokies at least twice a year. White water rafting, hiking, and back country camping. It was interesting to read about others’ misfortunes in the areas we visit. And I’d like to say I learned a little from this book about avoiding some of these accidents. It was short and to the point

loved it

Great

Good read if you've ever been in the park, interesting. Better if you get a good map when you read it.
