Part of the Contributions to Southern Appalachian Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
How could the peace and quiet of Ashe County, North Carolina (in the mountains, at the Virginia-Tennessee corner), turn into a nightmare of crime and drugs, and the old copper mine itself become a dumping ground for the dead?
In 1982, two bodies had been chipped from an icy grave and brought up from the 250-foot mine shaft where they had been thrown while still alive.
Now, there were rumors of 21 bodies still down there.
If the mine was ever re-opened, what would they find--copper or bodies?
Murder, drugs, prostitution and gangs come together in the history of the Ore Knob Mine.
A small Appalachian community became the heart of a vicious drug ring ruled by the Outlaws motorcycle gang from Chicago.
Ashe County made national headlines when a police informant came forward confessing that he had pushed a man alive into the Ore Knob Mine shaft.
This book is the full story.
