From http://vintagekidsbooks.blogspot.com:
In 1974, I'll bet there wasn't a middle or high school in America where kids weren't making Deliverance jokes to one another. While I doubt the damage that film did to our cultural perception of Appalachian people will ever be undone by books or documentaries, I've long appreciated the work done by Appalshop and Foxfire Magazine to preserve and paint a more complex understanding of Appalachian culture. I recently found this little 1974 book, Mountain People, Mountain Crafts taken out of circulation of a middle school library and on the shelf at the local used book store. Once I read it from cover to cover I realized what a treasure I'd found.
Elinor Lander Horwitz, a Smith-educated Jew from Connecticut traveled with her two sons (Joshua and Anthony, who would win the Pulitzer prize himself in 1995) to rural Appalachia to document the crafts and craftspeople of the region. Elinor told the stories they found there and her two teenaged boys documented everything with stunning photographs. The warmth and grace they met among the isolated Appalachian craftspeople shines through the text, which is often exquisitely written. Like most great books written for a youthful audience it doesn't pander. I love this book,
