Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here farmers, their lives and labors limed to the seasons, follow traditional ways of working passed down through the generations. Many are living as their parents and grandparents did, in close knit communities bound by heritage, kinship, and faith. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains, black and white photographs provide a window onto a world that is quickly fading. Portraits of people in their homes and at work in the fields illuminate the richness and rhythms of everyday life. The images are complimented by oral histories derived from conversations between the photographer and his subjects.
