Description
Book Synopsis: “Roads once Traveled” follows the author’s first book, “In the Foothills of Home,” which described life on a small farm in northwest North Carolina during and after the Great Depression. “Roads” is about the friends, neighbors and kinfolks who lived along a half-dozen roads in the same area. Included are photos of the people he knew best, along with photos and drawings of their homes and buildings, and stories of how they lived, worked and played. As Mr. Easter tells it, “There were no millionaires in our world, and some families barely had a roof over their heads. As time passed and conditions improved, all, in their own way, managed to dig a living from the rocky hillsides of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Once again, my story has not been professionally edited, but, good or bad, it is my own: told as I thought it sounded best.
