review 1: Sequel of sorts to Cataloochee. This novel picks up in the same locale as Cataloochee. The government is still trying to force folks to sell for the Smokey Mountains National Park has now become a reality. Some sell and move and some decide to stay for life. The Park does not make it easy on those who elect to stay.Wonderfully written (as was Cataloochee). Caldwell's two books are in the caliber of Lonesome Dove and Cold Mountain.
review 2: The sequel to CATALOOCHEE, REQUIEM BY FIRE is the second book Wayne Caldwell has written about the people of the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina. In his assortment of characters Caldwell creates in words a visual picture of the mountain culture at the turn of the century and the life changing disruption in thei... morer existence that took place as they were force from the land following the establishment Great Smokey Mountain National Park between 1915 and 1935. This book, along with CATALOOCHEE, I believe ranks up there with THE GRAPES OF WRATH as wonderful trubute to American folklore. less
