From the Back Cover
This book was written to honor my father. I loved him so much that I was not willing to let the memory of him die. I would have loved him even if he had not been my father. He is only one of many mountain people--proud, brave, sturdy, hard-working, god-fearing, and sensitive--living in a place and time so unique and different that its very simplicity is too profound to be fully understood and explained.

"A plain, interesting, sensitive book. . . . We see a people living contently in unison with a rugged environment which has 'imprisoned and protected them for 150 years.'"―Library Journal
"I cannot imagine a reader who would not be caught and then held by this direct, simply written account. Every page made me see for the first time beyond the cliches of mountain life."―New York Times Book Review
"A remembrance of a close-knit community, and of a hard-working people who still found the time to walk into the valley, listen to bird songs, and smell the flowers. This is definitely a book worth reading."―Register of the Kentucky Historical Society
