Harlan County

Growing Up Hard in Harlan County
$19.95
I came across this book recently when the family home was in the process of being sold. It was a gift from my mother to my father, my father being born and spending part of his childhood in Harlan County, KY. I held onto it, and eventually got time to read it. As I got through most of the book, I found some interesting parallels in Mr. Jones' life and some of my family history. I was unaware of the history of "bloody Harlan," and learning about it, even if at this moment from only one voice, gave me a lot of insight on my family that I did not have before, and helped me understand how my family got to where it is now.

I HIGHLY recommend this book, to anyone who has ties to Harlan County, KY, easter Kentucky in general, or for anyone who enjoys the stories of a man who never knew the meaning of a vacation.

Harlan County, U.S.A. - Criterion Collection

Pay close attention to the women in this movie. They are there just aas in your face as the men were during the strike. I wept when I saw these women trying to survive on the meager wages their husbands brought home, trying to keep their kids clean in washtubs, trying to feed them. It wasn't an issue of feminism it was pure survival. But on the other hand, look at the women and they were in the background, they left the fighting to the men even though they had as much to lose as their husbands. I have this tape and I will upgrade to the DVD versions.
