Rese�a del editor:

In contrast to the generally negative view of Appalachia as a subculture of hopeless poverty and deprivation, this book shows a very different picture. Roy Anderson was a resourceful though poor farmer, but also a talented cabinetmaker, musical instrument maker, and lay preacher, and at age 80 he tells with modesty the story of his life. Roy's words are accompanied by evocative black and white photographs?descriptive of his life with his sister on the farm, his cabinet shop, the community, and his church life. They give a pictorial dimension to a hard but enterprising life lived with dignity on one of the few remaining small farms in a particular community in southwestern Virginia. Roy begins by telling of his earliest memories. As these are becoming things of the past, we can all learn a great deal about life in Roy's time and place while gaining insight into an inspiring life in a rich American culture most of us would like to know more about.

Descripci�n Hardcover. Condici�n: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Includes CD. B/w photos. Due to size of book, ships within United States only, and only by media rate mail. At age eighty Roy Anderson, living in the Appalachian hills of southwestern Virginia, tells the story of his life as a small farmer, from birth to the present day. Roy's voice can be listened to on the CD that is included at the back of the book, telling with delightful articulation and detail the story of his life spanning nearly a century. It is fascinating reading and listening. The Photographs of Diane Asseo Griliches are seen throughout the book and give the reader a good idea of what he and his world look like. In contrast to the generally negative view of Appalachia by writers and photographers, this book shows a resourceful though poor farmer, who has been a talented cabinetmaker, dulcimer and clock maker, greenhouse builder, and lay preacher, besides being a most experienced farmer. It is a delight to read and one learns much from it. The younger generation can absorb the atmosphere of how things were done in the past, and how a remarkable though poor man managed with his inventive intellectual resources, and a strong will to survive and have pleasure in his life. ; Oblong 8vo 8" to 9" tall; 124 pp. N� de ref. del art�culo: 27671
