The murder of Laura Foster in 1866 has been the source of many legends and both in fiction and non-fiction it has inspired many authors. The murder, which in the end led to the conviction and execution of Thomas C. Dula, also inspired the famous song, The Ballad of Tom Dooley. In this book I go through the surviving records from the time and tell the story based on these facts, before I try to give my own explanation of what actually happened in Western North Carolina in the difficult times following the American Civil War.

What I would have like to have known before my first visit! An introduction to Western North Carolina, history, geograhpy, nature and not least the people of the region, written by a foreigner, who have fallen completely in love with this tract of land and the people inhabiting it. Statistical information, attractions, places to stay and places to eat in 32 counties in Western North Carolina, including information and advice for first time travellers to USA and WNC. The book is based on several visits to the region over the last 20 years.
