Thank you to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review. OKAY, this one took me to places I've never visited nor read much about. The fascination I've held for Appalachia has always been there though. The few stories I've heard were nowhere near as in-depth as this book was. It was also very eloquently and smartly written, so much so that at times I had to use as much concentration as I could to really piece together the info dump chapter after chapter. Although please don't think that's a bad thing, I actually quite enjoyed it.
