Strum Island Journal
In the Holston River below the confluence of its north and south forks is Strum Island. An abundance of whitetail deer, turkey, squirrel, raccoon, and rabbit find retreat there. So do grouse, coyote, bobcat and bear. The river sports catfish, red-eye, perch, smallmouth and otter. Ducks, geese, heron and cormorant ply above. Even bald eagles have returned. These are the diary entries, tales, and memories that are conceived, birthed, and reared in and around this Tennessee mountain sanctuary.
