About this title

Synopsis

Look back with love, is a rate evocation of a people and a place unique in the culture and lore of America. The place: Appalachia--eight states that rise like a mighty crescendo in Virginia and slash their way through West Virginia, the Carolinas, Kentucky, and Tennessee into Alabama and Georgia. The people: the southern highlanders, for almost two centuries hdden behind the awesome barriers of great and ancient mountains, a people little known and even less understood. With tenderness and spirit Alberta Hannum writes of a time that was and perhaps shall never be again; of what has been called Shakespeare's America, and its people she has known so well--of their speech and and song still vibrant with Elizabethan cadences; of their lives often poor in the way of the world but rich with pride and honor and belief in independence.
