"Into the Mist" by David Brill

Into the Mist, Volume 1 depicts men and women in extreme situations, struggling to survive against brutal and often lethal adversity. These are the real stories of events and circumstances that directly threatened and in some cases, claimed human lives, and they all take place against the backdrop of the wild and exquisite Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The book’s 13 chapters relive a hiker’s lonely death from hypothermia, the first fatal bear mauling in park history, a massive and successful rescue operation by park rangers, killers at large in the park, lightning strikes on the Appalachian Trail and other true and harrowing incidents. Includes a comprehensive appendix of all known fatalities that occurred in the park between 1931 and 2013 and lists the park’s leading causes of death and most dangerous places. *Shipping cost is driven by weight and address, and allows you to ship multiple titles for about the same cost as one book.
