John C. Campbell (1867--1919) is widely considered to be a pioneer
in the objective study of the complex world of Appalachian
mountaineers. Thanks to a grant from the Russell Sage Foundation,
Campbell traveled throughout the region with his wife -- noted
social reformer and "songcatcher" Olive Dame Campbell --
interviewing and profiling its people. His landmark work, The
Southern Highlander and His Homeland, is cited by nearly every
scholar writing about the region, yet little has been published
about the Campbells and their role in the sociological,
educational, and cultural history of Appalachia. Elizabeth
McCutchen Williams has prepared the first critical edition of Olive
Dame Campbell's comprehensive overview of her husband's life and
work -- a project left unfinished at the time of Olive's death.
Never before published, this unique volume draws extensively on
diary entries and personal letters to illuminate the significance
and lasting impact of John C. Campbell's contributions. The result
is a dynamic blend of biography and collected correspondence that
presents an insightful portrait of the influential educator and
reformer.
