The Story of the Plott Hound: Strike & Stay (NC) (The History Press) - $16.55Recognized now as one of the premier hunting dogs in America, the Plott bear hound is unique among hunting dog breeds because it descends from Germanic stock rather than the traditional English foxhound. The breed's story began when its original breeder, Johannes Plott, and his brother Enoch left Germany in 1750 with their prized hunting dogs. This trip across the Atlantic began the two-hundred-year journey that would culminate in the North Carolina mountains with the development of what is now arguably the world's finest breed of hunting dog. This fascinating story of the Plott family and the Plott hound is a classic American tale of adventurers and underdogs- a story that Bob Plott, the great-great-greatgrandson of Johannes Plott, is uniquely qualified to tell. | Legendary Hunters of the Southern Highlands (NC): A Century of Sport and Survival in the Great Smoky Mountains - $13.50From the heyday of the Cherokee Nation and on through the twentieth century, the Great Smoky Mountains have nurtured some of the most celebrated hunters in American history. Predicting changes in weather and almost telepathically sensing animal behavior, these outdoorsmen were linked inextricably with the land that sustained them. Local author Bob Plott lovingly recalls the tales- rife with characters like Honest John, the bear whose habit of killing only enough livestock to eat at one sitting granted him a reputation at once chivalrous and menacing, and 'Little George' Plott, a legendary marksman turned World War II hero- that linger among the region's hardwood forests and misty foothills. Rediscover an era of self-sufficient mountain living, when folks labored in logging camps, brewed moonshine, hunted for survival and fought for what they believed in. |
Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: Theory and Practice (5th Edition) - $89.72This text presents diagnostic, assessment, and educational applications for children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders through five theoretical models, clearly linking the theories to practice. The theme of this text remains an ecological/systems perspective of emotional and behavioral disorders in children and youth, reflected in the examples used and the references cited. | A History of Hunting in the Great Smoky Mountains - $15.21Man versus beast. It is an age-old struggle, and one that has ensued within the rugged terrain of the Great Smoky Mountains since humans first encountered the region centuries ago. Author and local hunting connoisseur Bob Plott takes readers on a quest back through time for a glimpse into the minds and the rifles of the region s most intrepid hunters. From the primitive weaponry and prevailing tactics of the Cherokee to the audacious rifle-toting ridge runners, and even a gruesome gang of cannibalistic rogues, these stories are truly a gripping tribute to mountain life and the adventure of the game. |
