Creeker:
A Woman's Journey (Women in Southern Culture)
by Linda Scott DeRosier
Linda Sue Preston was born on a feather bed in the upper room of her
Grandma Emmy's log house in the hills of eastern Kentucky. More than fifty
years later, Linda Scott DeRosier has come to believe that you can take
a woman out of Appalachia but you can't take Appalachia out of the woman.
DeRosier's humorous and poignant memoir is the story of an educated and
cultured woman who came of age in Appalachia. She remains unabashedly honest
about and proud of her mountain heritage. Now a college professor, decades
and notions removed from the creeks and hollows, DeRosier knows that her
roots run deep in her memory and language and in her approach to the world.
DeRosier describes an Appalachia of complexity and beauty rarely seen by
outsiders. Hers was a close-knit world; she says she was probably eleven
or twelve years old before she ever spoke to a stranger. She lovingly remembers
the unscheduled, day-long visits to friends and family, when visitors cheerfully
joined in the day's chores of stringing beans or bedding out sweet potatoes.
No advance planning was needed for such trips. Residents of Two-Mile Creek
were like family, and everyone was ""delighted to see each other wherever,
whenever, and for however long."" Creeker is a story of relationships,
the challenges and consequences of choice, and the impact of the past on
the present. It also recalls one woman's struggle to make and keep a sense
of self while remaining loyal to the people and traditions that sustained
her along life's way. Told with wit, candor, and zest, this is Linda Scott
DeRosier's answer to the question familiar in Appalachia--""Who are your
people?""

The
Senator from Slaughter County
by Harry M. Caudill, Margaret Ripley Wolfe
Book Description Harry M. Caudill's explosive novel tells the
story of Appalachia's shrewdest, most powerful political boss, Dr. Tom
Bonhom. Educated well beyond his fellow mountaineers, Doc Bonhom started
out as a well-paid coal company doctor. He ran for office only once-as
a reform candidate-and lost. His defeat turned him to gathering political
power from the influential rich instead of from the voters and he built
a political machine that controlled Slaughter County for over three decades.
He brought jobs, schools, roads, and millions of state and federal dollars
into his county. At the same time, he unwittingly brought his people to
complete dependency on government aid and unthinkingly encouraged the destruction
of the countryside through strip mining. His critics claimed that Doc Bonham
was an opportunist who rose as his community sank. Yet through it all,
he remained as American as apple pie, and when the governor appointed him
to fill an unexpired term in the U.S. Senate, he went there a hero. This
book contains some adult language and may not be suitable for younger readers.
