Distributed for Appalachian State University

A collection of true stories gathered from the Southern Appalachian people, this book echoes the folkways and values of another era. Published in 1974, the stories collected in "... A Right Good People" were originally published in the Charlotte Observer, the largest newspaper in the Carolinas in the 1970s. These stories were written with the intention of illustrating the heritage of the Appalachian people and letting them speak about their culture and traditions for themselves.

Reviews

“At long last a penetrating and insightful look at mountain folk captured both in wonderfully descriptive words that conjure up authentic pictures and in highly imaginative photographs that record the illusive but always present independent and proud spirit of … a right good people.”—Cratis Williams

“So, here is yet another book about Appalachia, but I believe it is one of a limited number that will win the approval of native mountain people.”—Loyal Jones
