Location: Auburn University Bookstore
The Auburn University Bookstore will host author Michelle Smith on Thursday, October 24th,
from 12pm until 2pm for a signing of her new book. Legends, Lore, and True Tales of the Chattahoochee. Michelle is a graduate of Auburn University with degrees
in Criminology and Criminal Justice, and a full time law enforcement consultant. In her spare time, Michelle works with the Alabama Paranormal Research Team, a non-profit research group, and indulges in her true passion: writing. Her years of studying the supernatural
and paranormal of Alabama’s historic sites has fueled that passion, and resulted in two completed publications to date.
About the Book: The
Chattahoochee Trace in southeast Alabama and west Georgia is steeped in Native, African and early American tradition--stories often deeply rooted in folklore. Unusual beasts such as the Kolowa, the Wampus Cat and even Bigfoot roam the area. Crossroads magic,
hoodoo and Huggin' Molly make their homes in the storied region. The Native American trickster rabbit, the Nunnehi Cherokee watchers, the tales of the Indian mounds and the saga of Brookside Drive are forever etched in Chattahoochee lore. From the Creek wars
to Indian removal and Sherman's March to the Sea, the legends of "the Hooch" have left an indelible mark on Georgia and Alabama. Join author Michelle Smith as she reveals many of the strange creatures and myths that sing "the Song of the Chattahoochee."
