The Great Bear Mountains of Tennessee are mysterious and wonderful. For everyone who lives on this glorious mountain range, with acres of giant, beautiful trees, their families have been there for hundreds of years. The only newcomers are the ones recently born on the mountain, or those who have been approved for very short vacation visits. That’s the way the mountain people wanted it. Only five families started out on this mountain, and those five families have grown into over two thousand citizens living there. They fought long and hard to have the right to choose who comes and goes on their mountain. It is now a community law: if the mountain people don’t approve of you, you’re out! Well, that is, if they know you’re on their mountain... Something very strange was discovered while Jodi O’Connor was visiting her family on Bear Mountain. No one there had experienced anything like it before, and they hoped to never come across anything like it again! The peaceful mountain had become scary and unknown. How could something so awful, so cruel happen right under their nose? This was one time the people of the mountain agreed that they needed and welcomed outsiders to come and stay as long as necessary to deal with this horrible nightmare that had come to their beautiful, peaceful mountain.
Fifty years ago, no one could explain mountains. Arguments about their origin were spirited, to say the least. Progressive scientists were ridiculed for their ideas. Most geologists thought the Earth was shrinking. Contracting like a hot ball of iron, shrinking and exposing ridges that became mountains. Others were quite sure the planet was expanding. Growth widened sea basins and raised mountains. There was yet another idea, the theory that the world's crust was broken into big plates that jostled around, drifting until they collided and jarred mountains into existence. That idea was invariably dismissed as pseudo-science. Or "utter damned rot" as one prominent scientist said. But the doubtful theory of plate tectonics prevailed. Mountains, earthquakes, ancient ice ages, even veins of gold and fields of oil are now seen as the offspring of moving tectonic plates. Just half a century ago, most geologists sternly rejected the idea of drifting continents. But a few intrepid champions of plate tectonics dared to differ. The Mountain Mystery tells their story.
