Abandoned Appalachia Series – Goss Park and Cupp Lake of Harlan County High along the crest of Pine Mountain, where the Little Shepherd Trail clings to the ridge above Putney, there is a quiet pull off that looks almost forgotten.

In tourism copy it is sometimes called a hidden gem.

Appalachian Figures Series – The Story of Sam Smith of Perry, Kentucky In the mountains around Hazard, Kentucky, the name Sam Smith shows up everywhere in the records.
