The Killing Trails: Two Centuries of Violence Against the Women of Western North Carolina - Paperback
Description
by Helen St Clair (Author)
Between 1808 and 2025, over 150 women were murdered in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Most of their names have been forgotten.
This book remembers them.
The Killing Trails documents two centuries of violence against women across the Appalachian highlands-from frontier-era killings to modern domestic homicides, from victims found along remote trails to cases that remain unsolved. Some women narrowly escaped. Others are still missing.
It names the dead. It traces the patterns. It exposes the systems that failed to protect them-and continue to fail today.
This is a reckoning. The rivers remember. After you read this book, so will you.
