Helen Hill NorrisHelen Martense Hill Norris was born in Highlands, North Carolina, in 1882, one of four children of Sarah Frost Hill and Frank Harrison Hill. For a decade starting in 1958, she wrote a weekly column for the Highlander newspaper called Looking Backwardin which she shared stories from her own childhood and those she had absorbed from her elders on cold nights huddled around the Hill House fireplace. Those columns, which were first collected in two volumes in 1962 and 1963, are being reprinted here in slightly edited form for the first time in nearly six decades. She died in 1968 and is buried in Horse Cove. Read More Read Less
