Family stories from Eastern Kentucky

Myron C. Mullins gathers stories rooted in Appalachian family, faith, and folklore, with Eastern Kentucky communities as their setting. The collection places personal and community life against the changes brought by interstate highways: as traffic shifted away from small towns, coal-mining and tobacco-farming communities faced economic and cultural disruption. Mullins frames these accounts around the people who chose to carry on, drawing attention to the region’s traditions and resilience. The book’s scope is both personal and communal, connecting family experiences with a broader portrait of Appalachian life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in personal stories about Appalachian family and community life.
  • Readers curious about the traditions and experiences of Eastern Kentucky communities.
  • Readers interested in accounts touching on faith, folklore, coal mining, and tobacco farming.

Book overview

There is a special region in America called Appalachia, an area as rich culturally as it is poor economically. I am privileged to have come from strong Appalachian stock of family, faith, and folklore. These are my stories of family and the amazing and eclectic people who make up this beautiful area.

In the 1950's there were decisions made to create interstate highways that would cris-cross America. As these highways were built, there were special places left behind as traffic moved from state roads that went through small towns, leaving their economies and cultures behind. Appalachia is one of those special areas. The communities of coal miners and tobacco farmers were left to subsist or exist. My family and the amazing communities of Eastern Kentucky chose to exist. These are my stories of love, hope, joy and laughter through life experiences with the amazing and resilient people who make up Appalachia.
