Travel author Horace Kephart discusses the culture of Appalachia he
observed while living in a mountain cabin for several months at the
start of the 20th century. This edition contains all of his
original photographs. An honest account of the old Appalachian
culture, Our Southern Highlanders attests to rugged yet proud
communities well-adapted to rough terrain. We discover a people who
have carved out an existence through sheer grit and persistence;
the hardships of mountain life are evident in the worn faces and
attire. Though the region is secluded, the inhabitants aren't cut
off - trade is regular, and many locals are descended from Irish,
Scots and English immigrants to North America. Recording
conversations and photographing the most noteworthy sights of his
stay, Kephart strives to portray the Appalachian region fairly.
Although known for his travel writing - a craft usually aimed to
encourage and inform potential visitors to a given place - Our
Southern Highlanders carries a journalistic element.
