This is not an oral history as much as a collective memoir of Clay County, Alabama, and the people who live there. It consists of excerpts from interviews with residents recorded between May 1987 and June 1988. The book is topically arranged with introductory notes to each topic. All interviews were approved and some corrected by the interviewee. The portrait that emerges, while not idyllic, is certainly one of peace and serenity. Clay County seems to have been mostly untouched by the strife that has beset the rest of the South. The interviews could have been longer and not as fragmented, but on the whole, this is a pleasant book. For Alabama libraries and/or those with extensive regional collections.
