Growing Up Hard in Harlan Country

G.C. "Red" Jones's classic memoir of growing up in rural eastern Kentucky during the Depression is a story of courage, persistence, and eventual triumph. His priceless and detailed recollections of hardscrabble farming, of the impact of Prohibition on an individualistic people, of the community-destroying mine wars of "Bloody Harlan," and of the drastic dislocations brought by World War II are essential to understanding this seminal era in Appalachian history.Jones, G. C. is the author of 'Growing Up Hard in Harlan Country', published 2004 under ISBN 9780813190808 and ISBN 0813190800.
