Another World combines academic expertise with first-hand perspective on Appalachian culture
As my tribute to Women’s History Month, I present a book written by my friend—and JSF Board Member—Edwina Pendarvis, a great scholar and a great person. Edwina was born in Floyd County, Kentucky.

Review: “Jesse Stuart: An Extraordinary Life”
Reviewed by Ted Olson ~ Most authors would hope to receive after their deaths a similarly high level of sustained interest from their readers as Jesse Stuart continues to receive from his. Stuart’s literary output is impressive, and some of his works are classics of Appalachian literature (for instance, the 1949 autobiographical book The Thread That Runs So True). One organization is primarily responsible for Stuart’s continued readership in [...]
