About the Book
This is the story of eight generations of one family in West Virginia, and mirrors the joy, trials, and tribulations, of that family, as it grew and matured with the state itself. The story reflects the mores and customs of the Scotch-Irish and English ancestral background of the Mitchell family as well as that of surrounding Appalachia in general.
