Appalachian Values

This book made me laugh and cry. It is simple, organic and respectful of the Appalachian people.

A powerful and beautiful book!

After reading Appalachian Values, I actually have a better understanding of myself and the culture that influenced my life. I was always wondering why I have such different values from people that I work with in other areas. Loyal Jones not only explains our time honored values but instills a sense of pride about a culture that is generally misunderstood due to media portrayal. I have a true sense of pride and understaning of the ways of our culture after reading this book. Beautifully written and photographed.

This book is a warm and truthful view of the people of rural Appalachia. I myself found it full of information and photographs that were very useful. A good read!
