Based upon research and interviews, this book chronicles the recent
history of a rural hamlet. It is an engrossing work that examines
topics as diverse as the economic structure, the impact of local
baseball on the inhabitants' lives and the lasting influence that
war had not only on the soldier in combat but also on the returned
veteran. Additionally, the author elicits from the people of Oak
Hill insights into their religious beliefs and customs. He offers a
rich portrait of this small village and its people. Relying heavily
on oral history, this work also utilizes previously untapped
primary sources such as privately owned letters and diaries. Much
of this material was analyzed with the cooperation of the local
family members and friends who possess these items. A wonderful
sampling of photographs from area private collections enhances the
fabric of this book's content.
