Description:
Outing Publishing Company, New York, 1913. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good- Condition. Book An important early study of the residents of the Appalachian Mountains captured at a time before the influence of external culture. From the entry in Wikipedia: "Inspired by the years Kephart spent among the inhabitants of the remote Hazel Creek region of the Great Smoky Mountains, the book provides one of the earliest realistic portrayals of life in the rural Appalachian Mountains and one of the first serious analyses of Appalachian culture. While modern historians and writers have criticized Our Southern Highlanders for focusing too much on sensationalistic aspects of mountain culture, the book was an important departure from the previous century's local color writings and their negative distortions of mountain people." Extensively illustrated with 32 black and white photos printed on coated paper and bound in. Size: Octavo (8-9"). 395 pages. Item Type: Book. Text block is tight and the pages are…
