KF Carter with his Chief, John Alexander MacArthur



With the recommendation of Cajun Scot and David Pope, I’ve been reading Celeste Ray’s Highland Heritage. During last night’s thunder storm, I read about the history of the Grandfather Mountain’s Games and the instrumental part Donald MacDonald played in establishing them.

Here I am with Donald MacDonald obtaining a signed copy of his book, America’s Braemar, the story of the Grandfather Mountain’s Games.
