The first narrative, \"What Sweet Lips Can Do,\" recounts the story of the Overmountain Men and the battle of King's Mountain, a tide-turning battle in the American Revolution. \"Men of Their Time\" is an exploration of white-Cherokee relationships from early contact through the time of the Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough not well known to the outside world, the stories recounted in \u003ci\u003eTeller Tales\u003c\/i\u003e are cornerstones in the heritage of the Appalachian region and of American history. In ways that will appeal to young and old alike, Jo Carson's irreverent telling will broaden the audience and the understanding for the stories of native Americans, settlers, explorers, and revolutionaries of early America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo Carson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821417541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821417546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.21h x 5.27w x 0.37d","brand":"Jo Carson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926522396927,"sku":"9780821417546","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cf2f81fe-48a4-41c4-915a-b02efe717157.jpg?v=1681083532","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teller-tales-jo-carson-9780821417546","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
