Dave is a person from New York, ALABAMA, USA

I spent the last 10 years helping my dad edit his autobiography about growing up in Depression-era West Virginia. And now I'm hooked on the history of the region.

Rated Dec 18 • 1 review • history, appalachian history, appalachia, history of appalachia • blogspot.com

From the page: "That made it possible for that dealer to make 14 cents net profit on that butterine that he was selling there to those poor miners, and you will find that will be the case, and that was the case, and is the case today all over the country, that poor men are buying that oleomargarine and they are buying it largely at the rich man's butter prices."

Appalachian History: The town atop the steepest standard...

Rated Dec 17 • 1 review • history, appalachian history, appalachia, history of appalachia, northcarolinahistory • blogspot.com

From the page: "This recent private commission by cut paper collage artist Alice Feagan depicts the small town of Saluda in the mountains of western North Carolina. Founded originally as a rest stop for weary train travelers and made famous by its annual Coon Dog Day, Saluda, as you can see from the illustration, is small town charm."

From the page: "When all the white boys and girls would be away "Miss Beckie" would gather the little negro children around the fire and talk with us. One day I said to "Miss Beckie": "Why do we little negro children have to work for you?" She said, "That's the way our fore-parents fixed the matter." I said to her, "when I get grown I am going to change the situation somewhat.""

Appalachian History: The Cherry Tree Carol (abridged)

Rated Dec 16 • 1 review • history, appalachian history, appalachia, history of appalachia • blogspot.com

From the page: "The "Cherry Tree Carol" originated in England in the 15th century. We might be better served to think of it as the "Cherry Tree Carols," since it exists in many versions, and any one given version is a composite of various sources."

From the page: "Jing Wei created an opener and five spots for an upcoming issue of American Way, the in-flight magazine for American Airlines. The article was about authentic Italian cooking and its inimitable results, which are largely dependent on the quality of the ingredients.

'I have to say, I was pretty psyched to draw these little hams and tortellis... Best subject matter ever!' "

From the page: "Canadian artist Carl Wiens' illustrations can be found worldwide, but there is plenty going on in his own backyard that keeps him busy as well. When the Olympic torch passed through his Prince Edward County community on its way to the Vancouver 2010 games, Carl was proud to contribute the illustrations for the celebrations guide, to be held at the Crystal Palace on the town's fairgrounds."

From the page: "whipped up these images in less than 48 hours for an article featuring the website, "Rotten Tomatoes." Not familiar with the site? You should be! It aggregates movie reviews and posts the findings on a "Tomato Meter" from fresh to rotten. The focus of the article was the site's Oscar predictability."
