Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains Each year, thousands of tourists visit Mount Mitchell, the most prominent feature of North Carolina's Black Mountain range appalachian ecology highlanders hollow mountain peepers and the highest peak in the eastern United States.

He chronicles the geological appalachian ecology highlanders hollow mountain peepers and environmental forces that created the mountains, then traces their history of environmental change appalachian ecology highlanders hollow mountain peepers and human intervention from the days of Indian-European contact to today.Among the many tales Silver recounts is that of Elisha Mitchell, the renowned geologist appalachian ecology highlanders hollow mountain peepers and University of North Carolina professor for whom Mount Mitchell is named, who fell to his death there in 1857. But nature's stories--of forest fires, chestnut blight, competition among plants appalachian ecology highlanders hollow mountain peepers and animals, insect invasions, and, most recently, airborne toxins appalachian ecology highlanders hollow mountain peepers and acid rain--are also part of Silver's narrative, making it the first history of the Appalachians in which the natural world gets equal time with human history.
