Writings (documents)

In a letter to Albert Britt on August 23, 1919, Horace Kephart informs Britt he will write a special article on F. M. Cockrell Jr.’s letter regarding ballistic issues. Kephart discusses his latest trip to the “Sugarlands” in Sevier County, Tennessee. He hiked with two men, one a U.S. secret service officer, in search for a man who escaped from prison, his brother and father. Kephart describes the terrain and encounters with the local residents. Although they proved unsuccessful in searching for these men, Kephart expresses his amazement of the low travel costs as they passed through mountain communities.
