Slowly plodding through "Battle Cry of Freedom" By James McPherson.
A transparent attempt at bibliophilic humor. The cartoonist must have been in his/her cups when it was penned.
Not too popular when I was growing up either. From KY you were a "briar hopper" or WV a "ridge runner".
If you are not from Appalachia most will not realize the difference .or even worse to me use the term hillbilly. And on a more serious note the series of volumes (12 0r 13) I think, of Fox Fire. might be of interest.Not too popular when I was growing up either.

Read them all over the years. Favorite is the "bar hunting" "hog killing" and "rifle making" one, #4?If you are not from Appalachia most will not realize the difference .or even worse to me use the term hillbilly.

#5. Still have that one somewhere, but have lost track of the others...."rifle making" one, #4?
The book is much better than the made for TV series.
