Fine. Book. 8 1/2 h x 5 1/2w. A real nice clean unmarked 429 page first edition softcover Published by the Jesse Stuart Foundation 2001. First printed 1963 by Little Brown & Co. Has an 8 page photo section. The quality of life in Appalachia declined during the Civil War and Appalachia remained "in a bad way" for the next century.

Very interesting book - I wish I had read it in college in the '60's. I would love to find a follow-up book on the same region of KY to see if things have improved there - particularly the educational system.
