Summary: |
The author recorded these oral histories of "Southern Mountain" old folks over a twenty-five year period in order to preserve aspects of community that were disappearing. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Teachers may want to excerpt individual histories for use with other books such as those from Wiggington's Foxfire series. Teachers may want to read the excerpts aloud. They would be good models for a unit on family and community stories and may inspire students to write their own family stories. Bial's Mist Over the Mountains would provide photographs and information to supplement this book.
