In 1908 and 1909, noted social reformer and "songcatcher" Olive
Dame Campbell traveled with her husband, John C. Campbell, through
the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia to survey the social
and economic conditions in mountain communities. Throughout the
journey, Olive kept a detailed diary offering a vivid,
entertaining, and personal account of the places the couple
visited, the people they met, and the mountain cultures they
encountered. Although John C. Campbell's book, The Southern
Highlander and His Homeland, is cited by nearly every scholar
writing about the region, little has been published about the
Campbells themselves and their role in the sociological,
educational, and cultural history of Appalachia. In this critical
edition, Elizabeth McCutchen Williams makes Olive's diary widely
accessible to scholars and students for the first time. Appalachian
Travels only offers an invaluable account of mountain society at
the turn of the twentieth century.
