Book Details
About the Book
The book focuses on the Davis/Hall families but is written in context of history’s repeating cycles and generational change. Chapters are devoted to Kentucky’s out-migration, Carter County’s service to the country, Olive Hill and Morehead history, and a driving tour of the six ghost town communities in the late 1950s.
“People from Appalachia never forget “back home,” says Davis. “But, to me, “back home” isn’t Lil Abner, but a place where proud people made this nation proud.” |
