Description

The Blue Wall: Wilderness of the Carolinas and Georgia
Photography by: Thomas Wyche, text by: James Kilgo
Hardback coffee table book


The Blue Wall communicates through photography the special wonder of the Blue Ridge Escarpment which stretches in majesty across South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.


When Duke Power announced its intention to offer 60,000 acres of treasured wilderness in the heart of the North and South Carolina mountains to the conservation community, it was apparent that this opportunity to preserve a magnificent wilderness area for generations to come would never recur. The purpose of The Blue Wall, was to reveal the inner beauty of these lush mountain lands and to help insure their protection forever. The book was distributed to all South Carolina state and federal elected representatives; it may have been influential in motivating the State's appropriation of funds to consummate the protection of this magnificent acreage shortly after The Blue Wall was published.
