Produktbeschreibung
Walton's Creek: Land of Our Fathers is the fictional story of the Atlee and Caughill families as they live, love, and survive in the hills and hollers of Walton's Creek, Kentucky. The dialogue is this simple story is true to the dialect, vocabulary, and phrasings of the people of rural Western Kentucky in the early twentieth century. Volume One of a two-volume set, the narrative flows through time from the years 1913-1971. Walton's Creek native Rick Ashby based the characters on members of his own family, his parents and grandparents in particular, and reflects on what life was like in this humble but hard-working community. It is a land where families tilled the land and raised their own food, supplemented by meat from wild game ... a place where men worked in the coal mines and women maintained the home with no indoor plumbing, all while trying to adapt to new technologies and changes to the American way of life. Walton's Creek: Land of Our Fathers is the perfect companion piece to Ashby's first book, At the End of the Road: My Journey from Walton's Creek, Kentucky--a look back at simpler times not unlike other communities in rural America.
