About the Author:
|
|
The late and distinguished Dr. James Harry Turner began this compilation from his own childhood in the North Georgia Mountains. These rich folk tales and their charming dialect were fading into oblivion until Dr. Turner sought to save them for posterity. He inspired his son Dr. Joseph Blair Turner to continue the collection into modern times, and from across all of Southern Appalachia.

Book Review:
|
|
"This book will be the survival of a nearly-lost treasury of folk ways, humor, and language... a complete way of life that deserves a long backward glance. Its pages will provide hours of enjoyment and uplifting views on life." - Mountaineer Review
