Reflections of Elkmont

Book excerpt: "Elkmont is a place that means something different to each of us. The Elkmont Historical Committee came to truly understand this as we met and discussed what we would include in this book. There were many stories that may have been part of someone's family folklore, but were new to others in the group. Other familiar tales seemed new, told from a different perspective. We couldn't include everything, as quite clearly something new surfaces every day. Our village, in many ways, is just like any other small town. Ther are gossips and stoics, overbearing personalities and meek ones, church ladies and wild girls, the honest, solid rock everyone calls on for everything and the weak soul whom no one trusts. There are folks who couldn't wait to leaave, those who never even thought of leaving and the "boomerangs" who left and came back. Our goal is to give the reader a slice of the Elkmont Club."--Introduction.
