The Brindle Mule: Stories and Poems of the Brushy Mountains
Mountain life--North Carolina--Brushy Mountains--Literary collections
<span>Written in Robert Leeper’s student days at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later at Columbia University, </span><em>The Brindle Mule</em><span> is a book of stories and poems emphasizing a childhood spent in the mountain country of Western North Carolina. Leeper grew up near Alexander County where his father was a physician and highly involved in the local community. Inspired by the cultural heritage of the region, Leeper decided to write down the stories and poems he heard gathered around the fireside, at picnics, in church, and at friends and family’s homes. Published in 1983, this book is a testament to the local lore of the Western Mountain region of North Carolina.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iL0WBbjKCcG3C6QAJMet7mQ6Hqj3NUq-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download EPub<br /><br /></a><a title="UNC Press Link" href="https://www.uncpress.org/book/9781469638256/the-brindle-mule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UNC Press Print on Demand</a>

Promoting Student Investigation of Local Environmental Issues through the Southern Highlands Environmental Project: Project Report
Environmental education--Appalachian Region, Southern
Originally published in 1993, this report is a compilation of a survey evaluating issues with the local environment in the Southern Highlands. The report is based on a five-day teacher institute and a 1988-89 school year assessment. Teachers assisted their students in investigating environmental issues in their home communities, and helped the students share their research results through science fair projects, PTO meetings, or articles in local newspapers. Teachers submitted project reports when the environmental unit was completed, and evaluations of the teachers took place during a two-hour phone call. The report published by Bousquet includes the project description and initiative, needs assessment, teacher institute, classroom implementation, outcomes, and dissemination. <br /><br /><a title="Epub" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w1hbVnuspvEWitv3RzMtKiV-G38f5hBh/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Download EPub</a>
