Synopsis
In this provocative history of how Appalachia saved civilization, Jeff Biggers knocks New England off its pedestal as the cornerstone of American life, replacing it with the region too often associated with backwoods, rustic, and folky things. Not so, says Biggers, who sees in the Appalachian experience the roots of our shared independent spirit and democratic values. He cites specific figures who came from Appalachia, examines its music and literature, and tells how Appalachia fostered, among other things, the abolitionist cause and, later, the civil rights movement.

Publisher's Note
Challenges stereotypes to profile Appalachia as a cradle of U.S. independence, artistry, and progressiveness, tracing the region's history to explain how many of the nation's basic freedoms and founding moments found their origins there.
