Zetta Barker Hamby was born in the Blue Ridge of Appalachia and, during a rich, rural mountain life, experienced the advent of the telephone, the automobile, electricity, radio, television and the airplane. To set down what life was like in the early days of the century, Hamby - a retired school teacher and principal - culled old records and spoke with everyone she knew who retained memories of the era. She has written about families, weddings and funerals, schooling, amusements, politics, home remedies, world war, and many more topics. Sometimes poignant, often humorous, these memoirs capture an era all too quickly being lost to memory.
