Book Description
This charming account of life in Appalachia at the turn of the century is one of the three most important books from the early twentieth century that, as Dwight Billings writes in his foreword, have "had a profound and lasting impact on how we think about Appalachia and, indeed, on the fact that we commonly believe that such a place and people can be readily identified." Originally published in 1924, it was advertised as a "racy book, full of the thrill of mountain adventure and the delicious humor of vigorously human people." James Watt Raine provides eyewitness accounts of mountain speech and folksinging, education, religion, community, politics, and farming. In a conscious effort to dispel the negative stereotype of the drunken, slothful, gun-toting hillbilly prone to violence, Raine presents positive examples from his own experiences among the region's native inhabitants.

Book Description
"Beginning with the brutal murder of her husband before her eyes, Leah Rabin recounts in clear-sighted detail the events of her forty-eight years with Rabin, from their dramatic courtship during service in the Palmach, the elite strike force of the underground Jewish army, to their marriage during the 1948 War of Independence; from his ascent as a brilliant military tactician and his role as chief of staff of Israel's armed forces during the breathtaking victories of the 1967 Six Day War, to his entry into political life, first as Israeli ambassador to the United States, then as cabinet minister to Golda Meir after the Yom Kippur War, and later as Israel's sixth and then youngest prime minister in 1974."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
