RABUN RENDEZVOUS

“The Rendezvous was unlike anything before or since, a gathering of uninhibited men down from the mountains. The event attracted perhaps a hundred mountain men, their Indian wives, and assorted visiting tribesmen.  Amusements included gambling, drinking, storytelling – continuing day and night.”  Quote from The Mountain Men, by George Laycock.
