Appalachians
Ridge country, coal and timber memory, river valleys, music, small towns, and a mountain chain that still shapes the East.
The Region As A Whole
The Appalachians matter because they carry one of the country's longest continuous regional stories: mountain settlement, extraction, craft, church life, labor memory, music, hunting ground, and a fierce attachment to place.
