A Surprising Look at Cades Cove5
I bought this book expecting beautiful photos of my one of my favorite places on earth, Cades Cove. I certainly was not disappointed. The photos are masterfully taken with great sense of proportion and composition. The beauty of the mountains and this special valley shine through. The photographer's love for his subject is obvious. What a pleasant surprise to find so much interesting and informative narrative on the people and history of the Cove. I learned so much and will treasure this book for many years. Thank you, Bill Lea.

Outstanding photography5
Bill Lea is an outstanding photographer whose many years in the Smokies have given him a keen insight to the soul of the mountains. On top of that, he's an oustanding person (one of my first photography instructors).

Wonderful, amazing, beautiful book 5
I bought this book as a Christmas present for my Dad and he absolutely loved it. I have had the chance to visit Cade's Cove a handful of times in my life and it is truly a natural treasure and the photography that Bill Lea expresses in this book truly does the area justice. If you are a previous vistior of Cade's Cove and have witnessed its' beauty you will be greatly appreciative of this book with the photography coupled with narratives on the area photographed. Very highly recommended.
