"A wonderful book. I like it especially for its color and anecdotes. It is a classic, not only for its accuracy and breadth of insights into the people of the region, but because these people themselves are so interesting and strong." -Annie Dillard, author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek No other book on the Southern Appalachians is more widely known or cited.

Rich with allusions and filled with details of mountain life, this book was one of the first to attempt to dispel negative stereotypes of mountain people and remains a classic.
