Summary: Great Book
Comment: Kephart is an amazing color writer, and his talents show through in this book. He describes an outsider's view of the southern mountaineer, and portrays a beautiful, rugged land. I have read this book 3 times, and each time I am taken back to southern Appalachia at the turn of the 20th century.
Rating: 5
Summary: A delightful but not romanticized view
Comment: Kephart's engaging, entertaining style does a terrific job of bringing realism to a heavily stereotyped people; his approach is balanced, illustrating the people's good and not-so-good characteristics with anecdotes (some hilarious) and facts. He provides historical and topological frameworks for the character of mountain people. He lived a bare-bones existence among them for several years and so his narrative is richer--and truer--than that of a drop-in-ask-get-out historian's. The book provides a realistic basis for understanding people of today's mountains, where personal background is often still important.
Rating: 5
Summary: Factual and engaging
Comment: Kephart delivers the facts as they really were while avoiding any hints of "documentary reading". The story gives many real life events and the reader feels almost as if he's having a conversation with Kephart. A very vivid look into Appalachian life as it really was in the early 1900s.
