The
earliest settlers of the Appalachian Mountains depended upon their quick
minds and skillful hands to survive in a beautiful but challenging land.
They learned to make their own tools, clothes, homes, weapons, utensils,
and dishes. This self-reliance has persisted throughout the years as
mountain men and women have used God-given gifts rather than cash to
survive and thrive. Joining these folks in their handcrafting is the
relatively recent influx of professional artisans and craftspeople. This
book profiles a number of high country craftspeople.
