A result of almost three decades of research, this is a highly readable account of the people and families of an isolated mountain locality in eastern Kentucky as they struggled to adapt to the increasingly dismal economic and social conditions of Appalachia.

In many ways this classic in the literature of sociology parallels accounts of the immigrant groups in America at the turn of the century.
