Lacon Mountain Chronicles
Author: Ed Higdon
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781953406088
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Lacon Mountain is located in South Morgan County, Alabama, on the Old Highway 31. At one time Lacon was a thriving village formally known as Cedar Crossing, boasting a post office, brickyard, a sawmill, a gin, a rock crusher, a church, and a newspaper. Today all that remains of Lacon is the Lacon Trade Day. The Patterson family home sits across the highway from it, backed up by the Knight Farm, which still operates and remains in the family. You can find anything you want for a price, from the best hunting dogs in the world to goats. The proper slogan for Lacon Trade Day is, "If it ain't here, it don't exist." My favorite is the meat skins that are cooked on the spot and packaged in a paper sack still warm. Settle back and learn about life in Lacon and around the world as seen through the eyes of master storyteller Ed Higdon.

The Free State of Winston
Author: Don Dodd
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738505923
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Based on a lifetime of researching and writing about their home county of Winston, the husband and wife team of Don and Amy Dodd have crafted a unique pictorial retrospective that conveys a serene sense of what it was like to grow up in the hills of Winston. Outlining the highlights of this Appalachian county's history, from its opposition to the Confederacy to its slow evolution from its rustic, rural roots of the mid-nineteenth century, two hundred photographs illustrate a century of hill country culture. A sparsely settled, isolated county of small farms with uncultivated, forested land, most of Winston County was out of the mainstream of Southern life for much of its history. The creation of the Bankhead National Forest preserved almost 200,000 acres of forested land, primarily in Winston, to perpetuate this "stranded frontier" into the post-World War II era. The story setting is scenic--fast-flowing creeks, waterfalls, bluffs, caves, natural bridges, and dense forests--and the characters match the stage--individualistic, rugged pioneers, more than a thousand mentioned by name within these pages. Winston has long resisted change, has held fast to traditional values, and, as seen in this treasured volume, is a place as unique as any other in America.
