SUMMARY:All Things Appalachia: Carolina Colonies in the Revolutionary Era
DESCRIPTION:“A Gathering Storm: Carolina Colonies in the Revolutionary Era” \nJoin historian and author Bob Plott as he discusses many relatively unknown reasons for unrest in the Carolina colonies that precipitated the Revolutionary War. Some of these issues began as early as 1761\, and involved a host of colorful characters\, including among others\, British Generals\, freed slaves\, American frontiersmen and iconic Cherokee warriors and chiefs. Plott\, using material from some of his six books and multiple other resources\, skillfully weaves this story into an interesting blend of education and entertainment. \nBob Plott presenter bio: \nBob Plott is a North Carolina native who can trace his family roots in the Old North State back to mid-18th century when his ancestors and their dogs arrived here from Germany. When the Plott family settled in Haywood County\, they developed the world-renowned big game hunting dog breed\, the Plott Hound\, which is the official state dog of North Carolina. \nBob Plott continues that family tradition of raising the hounds today. He is also a 2016 winner of the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine Award\, and has written six award winning books—all published by the History Press – celebrating the history of the Plott breed and southern mountain culture\, along with writing scores of magazine articles. \nBob is an avid outdoorsman\, an accomplished woodcarver\, and has conducted programs across the southeast telling the story of the Plott hound. He is included on the traditional artists directory of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Council (BRNHC)\, as well as a featured speaker on the NC Humanities Council’s Roads Scholar program. \nIn September 2023\, Bob received the Mountain Heritage Individual Award\, presented annually by the Western Carolina University Mountain Heritage Center\, Mountain at their annual Mountain Heritage Day Festival.
