Appalachian People's History Book.

Louisville, KY: Mountain Education Associates/Southern Conference Educational Fund, c.1971. [First Edition]. Staplebound. "History is very important. It is not just names, dates, and places to be memorized but more importantly it is the story of people struggling for their rights and for justice. If people are cut off from their own history they lose a part of themselves. They lose their humanity. This has been the case in the Appalachian Region. Too long have Appalachians heard history from only one point of view:-that of the mine owners and operators. This book was written to correct this imbalance of history." -- From introduction.
