Do, Die, Or Get Along: A Tale of Two Appalachian Towns
Autographed copy
Author: Peter Crow

"History happens at the point where people affect events - or the point where events affect people. Through skillful editing, Peter Crow shows us just how and when this occurs, taking us from the region's earliest days up to present time. These compelling Appalachian voices range across age, sex, and class, bringing the story to vivid life. This is the best account I've ever seen of contemporary Appalachian life - and the most cogent and comprehensive look at what's ahead. An often surprising and altogether indispensable book" - Lee Smith, author of Agate Hill
