Book Details

This Is a Story of Growing Up in Eastern Kentucky Where Poverty Seemed to be All Around—More So at Our House

As I look back at the 1950s and early ’60s I realize now that what seemed like a depression to me, truly was a blessing in disguise. I honestly believe that if today’s children had a little taste of the past we would all be better off in many, many ways. I thank God that I was born and raised in Eastern Kentucky and I will be an old head-of-the-holler Kentuckian until the day I die.
– James A. Adkins
