“Keep a Good Backlog on the Fire”—Memories of a Cashiers Valley Boyhood
By Robert W. "Bud” Hyatt. "Keep a Good Backlog on the Fire" is a memoir about Hyatt’s life in Cashiers during the mid-20th century. Bud Hyatt has vivid memories of his childhood in Cashiers. He is a descendant of Barak Norton, one of Whiteside Cove's earliest settlers, the grandson of High Hampton Inn's longtime caretaker, Doug Bradley, and related to many of Cashiers Valley's oldest families. His book brings the mid-century tales of the region to life.

Previous Publications
Over the years CHS has created several series of publications:
HISTORIC SITES SURVEY I
HISTORIC SITES SURVEY II
HISTORIC SITES SURVEY III
FACES & PLACES OF CASHIERS VALLEY I-III
These were crafted in the efforts to document a community that is grounded in its own special place and the particulars of this specific place that play a vital role in any story told. It was the intent of these works and exhibits to photograph historic properties in Cashiers Valley together with the stories of those people who've made these places significant in our community memory.
