Goin' Up Shootin' Creek

A heartwarming account of growing up during the Depression in the Blue Ridge Mountains in western Franklin County, Virginia. Gladys Edwards Willis captures the essence of a place and a people leaving behind a way of life largely unchanged for two hundred years and entering eth modern world of radios, telephones, electricity, motion pictures, indoor plumbing, and paved roads. This memoir, edited by Karl Edwards, is not only a moving personal story, it is a significant contribution to Appalachian literature.
