O książce

In «Our Southern Highlanders,» Horace Kephart offers a meticulous and evocative exploration of the lives and culture of the Appalachian people. This seminal work intertwines poignant anecdotes with rich observational detail, illustrating the challenges and subtleties of rural existence in the Southern Highlands during the early 20th century. Employing a clear yet lyrical prose style, Kephart captures the unique dialect, folklore, and traditions that define this isolated community, providing readers with an enduring portrait of a landscape and its inhabitants, while reflecting the socio-economic changes affecting the region. Horace Kephart was an influential figure in the early conservation movement, as well as a passionate advocate for the Appalachian way of life. His experiences as a writer, camping enthusiast, and later as a member of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park establishment deepened his understanding and appreciation for the region's natural beauty and cultural heritage. These insights shaped the narrative and themes within «Our Southern Highlanders,» compelling him to document the lives of those who lived in harmony with the land. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in regional studies, American culture, or environmental history. Kephart's work serves not only as a historical account but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving the customs and stories of marginalized communities. Readers will find in it a heartfelt and enlightening discourse on the resilience of the human spirit against the backdrop of nature.
