Présentation de l'éditeur
This classic work by Jean Thomas, "the traipsin woman," is a wonderful introduction to an Appalachian culture that was already disappearing even as Thomas attempted, valiantly, to document it. Jean Thomas writes about the history of the Blue Ridge country as well as the traditions of its people, their songs and dances and superstitions and tall tales. This book is a wonderfully written look at a fascinating part of America. Not to be missed!
