Can the South Survive - AndrewGrissom
This is the book which absolutely must be read if the South is ever to reclaim its lost place in the moral, cultural, and political landscape of America. Can the South survive as a part of the declining American republic, or must it secede and go its own way? Grissom takes a critical look at the South in this exhaustive analysis of current trends. Does the South have even a right to exist? If so, can it survive immigration, integration, and a consuming coarsening of its culture?
40 Acres and No Mule - Janice Holt Giles
The best introduction we know to the Appalachian people, who have much to teach the rest of us about living in community and at peace with the world. Janice and Henry Giles took what little savings they had, left the city, and moved into a small cabin in Adair County, Kentucky, the rural region that had been home to Henry's family for two hundred years. This is a straightforward, unromantic, yet loving account of their first two years on Giles Ridge as Mrs. Giles learned to shed her city ways and embrace country life.
