Download or read book South from Hell fer Sartin written by Leonard W. Roberts and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 1988-07-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South from Hell-fer-Sartin, a short creek flowing into the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River, lies one of the of the most isolated regions in Kentucky. There, on the north slope of the Pine Mountain range in Leslie and Perry counties -- probably the last stronghold of white, English-language folk tales in North America -- Leonard W. Roberts recorded this rich collection more than three decades ago. To a people who, at that time, watched dancing hearth fires more often than television, the adventures of Jack in the land of witches and giants, monsters and beautiful princesses, provided first-class entertainment. Here are such old favorites as "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Golden Arm," retold in the idiom of the Kentucky mountains. Here are hauntingly beautiful cantes fables and earthy Irishman jokes. Here are encounters with Indians and marvelous hunting escapades. Roberts introduces his collection, first published in 1955, with a sympathetic description of the mountain way of life. He notes especially the bewildering and rapid changes that came to the Pine Mountain watershed in that decade as the highways and electric lines at last brought in a sophistication that preferred the soap opera to the folk tale. Although the stories Roberts recorded were still a firm part of folk tradition at the time, he believed that within a decade or two they would be forgotten -- a prediction, sadly, by now no doubt fulfilled. Any lover of the vanishing art of tale telling will relish this rich treasury of folklore and humor. Full notes on sources, types, motifs, parallels, and possible origins of the tales make this collection valuable also for folklorists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told in family stories, poetry, drawings and photos by two sisters and a brother, this book is about an impoverished Kentucky Mountain family, eight children and a widowed mother, and what became of them. When things were darkest, they heard an angel sing and the 'sweet song filled the house until the rafters rang.' The older children's love for the younger ones, their labors to support and sustain them until they could make their own way inspired the author, the seventh child, to bring together their stories with a short biography of each. She also includes a compilation of their ancestral history in the second part of the book. Many pioneered the Kentucky Mountains. Surnames included are: Adams, Franklin, Bentley, Craft, Whitaker, Polly, Mullins, Yonts, Hale, Honeycutt, Stamper, Amburgey, Reynolds, Ashley, Smith, Garland, Cox, Grizzle, Hamons, Reeves, Blevins and Phipps.
