Gathering the Harvest: Appalachian Fall Traditions and Mountain Lore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oh, come on in, pull that quilt a little tighter around your shoulders, and sit right down by the hearth. My old bones can feel it—the crisp, sweet bite in the air that means autumn has finally come creeping back into these old mountains.Oh, sweethearts, let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the mountains when October rolls around. The whole world just takes a deep breath and puts on its Sunday best, painted in shades of blazing burnt orange, bruised purple, and old-gold yellow that’ll mak

Well, pull up a cheerin’ chair and set a spell, honey. Come a little closer, ‘cause these old bones are talkin’ again, and when they start talkin’, they usually start singin’.Singing and playing have always been a huge part of mountain life. The older I get, the more my spirit lives there, right back on those worn-out wooden church pews where the floorboards groaned in three-quarter time and the songbooks smelled like decades of peppermint wrappers, lemon Pledge, and heavy Sunday perfume.It sure

If the McHargues we

Pull that split-bottom rocker close and listen to the wind moving through the hemlocks while the evening shadows stretch across the ridge.You see these hills, and you ride along these paved blacktop roads like they’ve always been here, but the true history of southeastern Kentucky isn’t written merely in dusty county court record books or faded land deeds. It is carved right into the sandstone ridges,
Where the Dirt Remembers: Graveyards, Crossroads, and the Restless Dead (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pull up a rocker and sit a spell on the porch, honey. Let the evening cool off some, and let me tell you how the old folks truly understood the dirt beneath our boots and the roads running through these hills.Folks nowadays toss words around careless-like, but you ought to know that words have weight, just like ground has memory. If you’re going to understand the mountains, you have to understand the things that keep the living and the dead in their proper places: the difference in the dirt, the
