THE VIEW FROM ELK KNOB

THE VIEW FROM ELK KNOB By Allan Ishmael Young. Big Elk Knob rises over four thousand feet in the middle of Lee County. From its three crowning peaks you can see the entire County—from Wallins Ridge and beyond to Powell Mountain, divider of Virginia and Tennessee on the southeast, to Ocoonita Ridge and Cumberland Mountain, which is the border between Virginia and Kentucky, to the northwest. But this view gives you more that just topography. It gives you an in-depth look at a variety of people, places, things and events—a microcosm of the entire planet Earth. If you have seen THE VIEW FROM ELK KNOB, you have seen it all. Take it from one who grew up at the base of Elk Knob, and who has seen it all.
