The Face of Appalachia

"The Face of Appalachia is the culmination of over twenty years of work by acclaimed photographer Tim Barnwell. Combining beautiful landscapes with tender portraits, Barnwell's remarkable black-and-white images provide a moving record of a vanishing way of life on the remote mountain farms of rural Appalachia. Over one hundred photographs, reproduced here in elegant duotone, are combined with conversations with the subjects. The images and lyrical text give insight into the daily lives, activities, and dreams of the hard-working, proud, and resourceful men and women of this unique area of our country."--BOOK JACKET.
