On June 7, 2025 the historical fiction book, “Lessons of Pilot Mountain,” based on extensive oral history stories about the sacred mountain will be released. Later, the book will have an official book launch on June 20-24, 2025 at Cosmic Summit in Greensboro, North Carolina. At this time the books are not available at the Pilot Mountain State Park for reasons that are not clear to the author. To do research/photography on Pilot Mountain a permit is now required and sometimes those permits are approved and sometimes denied.

Both books are available in downtown Pilot Mountain at Kathy George’s West End Arts Market. There will be a book signing there in June and both B&W hardcover plus softcover versions of each book will be available. The author is thankful for the support of Kathy George and the Pilot Mountain community.

Faces of Pilot Mountain became part of the City of Pilot Mountain’s research library when it came out on May 18, 2023. Later, the Mt. Airy Regional Historical Museum obtained a copy for their research/genealogy section.

Faces of Pilot Mountain was selected on February 6, 2025 by a committee to be included and cataloged to become part of the history of the State of North Carolina in the Government & Heritage Library in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Faces of Pilot Mountain was selected on May 13, 2025 to be in the Library of Congress collection in Washington, D.C.

The documentary on the mountain which is in part, based on the book Faces of Pilot Mountain, is being edited the first week of June in 2025 by the Lost America series crew. Here is a trailer of some of their work elsewhere and the author looks forward to sharing a link to the Pilot Mountain documentary in the near future here. As you can see for yourself below, the 8K camera work by Dolman Pictures is simply stunning.
