DVD - THE MYSTERY OF GEORGE MASA. George Masa's exquisite photographs earned him the reputation as "the Ansel Adams of the southern Appalachians." His photography also helped persuade government officials and the public at large that the Great Smoky Mountains had to be protected before it was too late. He was a close friend of Horace Kephart and was the first person to ever map and measure many of the trails (including the A.T.) in the Southern Mountains. Sit back and learn more about this fascinating founding father of the Smokies. A first-rate, quality production from Bonesteel Films of Asheville. 92 minutes. DVD includes Masa slide show and behind the scenes footage.
