Product Description
by R. E. Barclay (Author)
This story of Ducktown is actually the story of the Great Copper Basin in southeastern Tennessee, one of the oldest copper districts in the country. The narrative covers the period from the removal of the Cherokees in the 1830s to the building of the railroads through the region in 1890, and it centers around the experience of Julius Eckhardt Raht, an early settler of the region.
Originally published in 1946.
