Orville
Hicks: Mountain Stories, Mountain Roots is the first full biography of
mountain storyteller Orville Hicks, nephew and storytelling heir of the
late, great Ray Hicks. When not storytelling, Hicks works at the Watauga
County dump, where he holds court over an informal network of friends,
admirers, and curious tourists who want to hear a story. The biography
focuses on how Orville came to follow in his Uncle Ray’s storytelling
footsteps, and includes one of Orville’s stories.
