Watches Of The Night

Harry M. Caudill's follow-up to his classic Night Comes to the Cumberlands continues the story of the Appalachian Plateau, examining how coal mining and land exploitation deepened poverty and upended traditional life in the region. Part narrative history, part impassioned critique, it's a landmark work of Appalachian nonfiction.
