This is very well done, and thoroughly explains the history of the region which
hasnt been widely known. Railroads for coal had their way for many years, while
s were fought like a war against the poor. Many injustices and shame, but
through it all the people of the region prevailed. Hillbilly? Redneck? These
came from proud origins. Even though Im not among them, I learned a lot about
them.
