Synopsis

Explores the haunting beauty of forgotten coal mining towns, showcasing stunning photography of abandoned buildings, farmhouses, and remnants of a rich history.

Abandoned structured are places that open the imagination, invite interpretation, and tell stories of bygone eras. This book features photography from the author’s journeys throughout the blight of the Appalachian Foothills, featuring autumnal colors and remnants of the once thriving coal mining regions. The unique distress, dark history, and objects left behind in the photos display an up-close and personal vantage point not accessible to passerby. Readers will enjoy stunning photos that display a look into Eastern Kentucky’s rich heritage. Through the twists, turns, hills, and valleys, a world unknown to outsiders is thoughtfully explored and documented. Abandoned farmhouses, storefronts and industrial buildings, old-time schools, a country church, a historic mansion of a town founder, coal mining equipment, roadside cars, and more, all collectively make Abandoned Eastern Kentucky a must read for photography and history enthusiasts. Enjoy the beautiful contrast between Americana and a chilling past.
