Regular price $19.99 Sale

Robert Henry is a character
more suited for fiction than
nonfiction. While just a boy, he
fought with the Overmountain
Men at Kings Mountain and
battled British troops along the
Catawba River. As a surveyor, he
helped mark the boundary line
between Tennessee
and North
Carolina. He had a long career as
a prominent attorney and owned
the famous Sulphur Springs
resort. Yet while Henry is one of
western North Carolina's most accomplished ancestors, he is also one of
the most eccentric. He preferred to dress in moccasins and traveled with
a walking stick nearly as tall as he. Some said he had the gift of foresight
and was able to predict his own death. Join author Richard Russell as he
navigates the unusual, contradictory and fascinating life of Robert Henry.
