"Incredible story, wonderful history, eye opening, thought provoking and heart rending" Jessica Knorr

High on a mountain in western North Carolina, on a fateful day in 1850, the life paths of "Dancing One", "DoubleToe Tommy" and "Angelina Baker" finally cross. Their long and difficult journeys led them to meet "Johnny Basic", a mountain boy, who uses something they each bring with them to create a very unexpected surprise. Who were they? Why were they there and what had happened to them along the way? How did their meeting on that mountain change their lives forever and continue to effect all of us to this day?

This is an adventure story about the Native Americans, Europeans and Africans who came to the Southern Appalachian frontier in the mountains of western North Carolina and contributed to the roots of a present day American tradition.
