Songs of the Whippoorwill An Appalachian Odyssey eBook John Blankenship


During his storied career as a feature writer and photographer, award-winning journalist John Blankenship met with the famous and infamous, the proud and the humble, the glamorous and the plain. With every interview, the writer learned something new about human nature and about himself—about pride and independence, loyalty and steadfastness, honesty and integrity. These snapshots from a reporter's notebook offer a compelling look at the resilient folk of Appalachia from the 1980s to the present. The author's detailed feature stories and personal reflections bring into focus the larger than life characters who helped mold our times for the better, even when facing seemingly insurmountable odds in one of our nation's most challenging economic regions. These meetings will hold you spellbound and keep you turning pages as you explore the writer's fascinating experiences.
Songs of the Whippoorwill An Appalachian Odyssey eBook John Blankenship
As somewhat of a "hillbilly" myself , I was curious about the title. I could relate to some of the stories as reminiscent of my early childhood. I was a little disappointed that more of the Appalachian mountains was not covered. Overall, this a good description of life in southern West Virginia as it once was.Product details

All three books in the "Songs of the Whippoorwill" trilogy are beautifully written. They capture the true essence and spirit of the proud people of Appalachia. I highly recommend all three books.
