The Appalachian Mountains have a rich and colorful history. Appalachian History is a blog devoted to telling the story of the inhabitants of Appalachia in anecdotes and stories, with an emphasis on the depression era. The story is told through interviews, brief memoirs and letters, all in the voice of the people who lived in the region. A new episode of The Appalachian Weekly History podcast is posted every Sunday, and pictures and articles appear throughout the week. I have added Appalachian History to the permanent links in the sidebar.

Edd, thanks for your very gracious mention of the AppalachianHistory.net site on your blog this morning. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dave. You are doing wonderful work on Appalachian History and I have enjoyed reading and listening. So many people have a monolithic and unflattering image of Appalachia and your site is doing a good job of showing the cultural richness and variety in this area.
