    <body><![CDATA[I checked this out from the library because I was intrigued by the title.  Cataloochee is not far from my home town, and the author's name (Caldwell) was a giveaway that he was familiar with North Carolina history.  This is an extremely well written collection of vignettes that spans four generations in the Cataloochee community, beginning in the mid-1850's.  The characters are well developed, and the author is able to easily jump large chunks of time without losing our attention, or the charm of his novel.  Not only did I enjoy following the families from story to story, I learned quite a bit about a part of American History I had previously overlooked.  The language in the book can get a little rough from time to time, so I'm guessing it's pretty accurate.  That in mind, I won't be recommending this one to my son for a few years.  I will be requiring this book as part of our future high-school history studies.  I enjoyed this book more than Cold Mountain.  I look forward to reading more from Mr. Caldwell.  ]]></body>
