Download or read book Blood in West Virginia written by Brandon Kirk and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Kirk’s marvelous tale of one of the bloodiest Appalachian feuds is a rip-roaring page-turner! . . . a good spirited read.” —Homer Hickam, #1 New York Times–bestselling author This riveting account is the first comprehensive examination of the Lincoln County feud, a quarrel so virulent it rivaled that of the infamous Hatfields and McCoys. The conflict began over personal grievances between Paris Brumfield, a local distiller and timber man, and Cain Adkins, a preacher, teacher, doctor, and justice of the peace. The dispute quickly overtook the small Appalachian community of Hart, West Virginia, leaving at least four dead and igniting a decade-long vendetta. Based on local and national newspaper articles and oral histories provided by descendants of the feudists, this powerful narrative features larger-than-life characters locked in deadly conflict. “Not only does Blood in West Virginia present a compelling narrative of a little known feud in southern West Virginia, it provides valuable insights into the local politics, economy, timber industry and family life in Lincoln County during the late 1800s.” —Dr. Robert Maslowski, President of Council for West Virginia Archaeology and graduate instructor at the Marshall University Graduate College “Tells a fascinating story that elevates the Lincoln County feud to its proper place in Appalachian and West Virginia History.” —Dr. Ivan Tribe, author of Mountaineer Jamboree “This book brings a deadly story to life. Author Brandon Kirk has done remarkable work in untangling the complex web of kinship connections linking both friends and foes, while detailing the social and economic strains of changing times in the mountains.” —Ken Sullivan, executive director, West Virginia Humanities Council, and editor of West Virginia Encyclopedia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Right before she died, your mother called me on the phone and told me that there were some things I needed to know. She told me all this on a Monday.. I got the call on Thursday that your mother had passed away.' Until finding out that he would be receiving an inheritance upon his father's death, Jessie Walker's life had been fairly norma-except for the untimely passing of his mom when he was a child. But with the inheritance from his father comes an unsettling, possibly sinister discovery. Had his mom really passed away from an illness, as he'd been told, or was the real reason something much, much worse? Secret of Graveyard Hill is fiction, but it's based on one grain of truth in author James Hibbitts's life: He doesn't know the true cause of his mother's death. He and Joe Roberts have written this novel in an attempt to help him sort through his pain and to possibly find some answers.

Download or read book Our Appalachia written by Laurel Shackelford and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written about Appalachia, but few have voiced its concerns with the warmth and directness of this one. From hundreds of interviews gathered by the Appalachian Oral History Project, editors Laurel Shackelford and Bill Weinberg have woven a rich verbal tapestry that portrays the people and the region in all their variety. The words on the page have the ring of truth, for these are the people of Appalachia speaking for themselves. Here they recollect an earlier time of isolation but of independence and neighborliness. For a nearer time they tell of the great changes that took place in Appalachia with the growth of coal mining and railroads and the disruption of old ways. Persisting through the years and sounding clearly in the interviews are the dignity of the Appalachian people and their close ties with the land, despite the exploitation and change they have endured. When first published, Our Appalachia was widely praised. This new edition again makes available an authentic source of social history for all those with an interest in the region.
