At a recent meeting of Wa
tauga and Avery County citizen
interested in preserving customs,
traditions, and landmarks of the
past, I was asked to examine a
copy of look Back With Love, a
book about Appalachia and its
people written by Alberta Pier
son Harmum, now a resident of
West Virginia.
Both the title and the
name put me an my guard. "Ano
ther sweet little old lady writing
about those quaint mountaineers"
I said to myself. This I deci -
ded to give it short shrift.
Somehow, however, it didrft
quite work out that way. I found
myself plowing through most of
the book in one evening and fi
nishing it off the next morning,
delighted to find a writer who
has attempted to paint the Ap
palachian region and its people
honestly, with all their merits,
their faults, their whimsicalitis.
Much of the book derives
from Mrs. Hannum's experien -
ces with mountain folk, both as
a young school teacher in the
Crossnore School and as a fre
quent visitor to the area from
her home in West Virginia. Thus
Look Back represents an exten -
ded view of this area ratherthan
the hastily-formed judgment of
the overnight expert.
Chapiter heading are,perhaps,
a key to the essential honesty
of the book, for they are taken
from Uncle Jake Carpenter's
antology of death on Three Mile
Creek in Western North Carolina,
recorded during the period from
1845 to 1920.
During this time Uncle Jake
kept an accurate account of the
deaths, in the area and in his
journal tersely but succinctly
scrawled his judgment of the
departed. He usually found
space to note the dead person's
occupation, his ability or lack
of ability, and the nature of
his character.
The journal was nu.de avail
able to Mrs. Hannum in the
30's when she acoompaniedone
of her students home and was
shown the manuscript by Mrs.
Carpenter. Thus Look Back
With Love is both a tribute to
Uncle Jake Carpenter and the
mountain pieople he knew as
neighbors.
Excerpts from the journal
make interesting reading, both
as isolated entries or as take-off
points for Mrs. Harm urn's chap
ters on Appalachian mountain
life.
Uncle Jake had great respect
for the pierson who put in a day%
honest work. Time and again
such notations as the following
appear (in his own manner of
spelling):
"Robert Wilison ag 45
dide oc 10 ware harde
workman" (1845)
"Franky Carpenter ag 56
did oc 2S harde workin
womin in forme made
com Oates" (1862)
He also admired oourage,both
in war and tn the everyday life
of the mountaineer:
"John Abey 85 July 2
wars fine solder in ware"
(1863)
"Franky Davis (William
Davis'wife) age 87

all nite at Shogar camp
to save her caff throde
fier chonks to save cats
the camp wars hal mil
from home noe she must
have nirv to sites wof all
nite" (1842)
Uncle Jake also notes deviations
from the straight and narrow,
but he was careful to acknow -
ledge merit in the individual
even when circumstances were
slightly unusual, as in the fol -
lowing:

Hour of GoU. Horn of Lead
by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
1973. Pp. 325. Harcourt Brace
Jovanovich, N.Y. & London.
From gladness^ to sadness —
and then back to gladness,with
the birth of her second son, the
wheel of time went full circle
for Anne Morrow Lindbergh, as
she relates the joy and sohow
of a certain period of her life,
in her book, Hour of Gold,Hour
of Lead. Her diaries and let -
tore from 1929-1932 reveal a
wife and mother of unusual
warmth and sparkle.
The charm of the author's
letters in her hour of gold lies
in the intimate, physical ap -
peal to the senses. The happi
ness of her early mairied life to
her famous husband causes her
to love and enjoy everything
she sees, hears, touches,smells,
and tastes. She loves the smell
of "a circus with its sawdust,
animals, peanuts, garlic,heat,
and people". She loves the
sight of anything blue: "I'll do
almost anything for the color
blue—hills or bowls or eyes or
neckties". She loves the touch
of "a cool thick sea mist that
pricks one's face softly". She
loves to hear the "gentle, per
sistent, comforting rain on the
roof'. And she enjoys; the taste

Throughout Look Back With Love
the author is true to Uncle Jakdi
interpretation of Appalachian
life in ha extension of his cryp
tic observations and in her own
judgments of mountain folk ants
their environment.
I recently met Mrs. Hannum on
a visit to Crossnore. I heartily
approve of both her andherbook
of "Marmalade that the sun
shone through so nicely this
morning". These were the sim
ple things in Anne Lindbergh's
life, but they appealed to her
because she was happy.
Almost overnight the
happiness was crushed by the
ladnapping and murder of her
little sen. But even in her hour
of lead her sense of touch came
to her rescue. Dating from the
early games of her childhood,
the author had always beat able
to re-create the sensation of
touch. Now, to ease her sor
row, she warmed herself with
the memory of the touch of the
child's hand in hers. It was
good to feel the intimacy of
that memory as a balm for her
aching heart. rtnr.
Understandably, bitterness'j
lingered in the soul of such a
heavy-hearted mother, for
many months. It was not until
the birth of her second child
that the spell was broken, but
the scar of the tragedy would
always remain. Anne Lind -
bergh's words ring true for all
who have been touched with
sorrow: "It isn't for the mom
ent you are struck that you need
courage, but for the long, up
hill climb back to sanity, and
faith, and security. "
same non-replacement privile-r
ges as the person who actually
holds the Gallon Card.
Those who have not given
their gallon of blood but who
are working toward that end re
ceive the same coverage as the
Gallon Club members, except
the coverage is only for a year ‘
from the date of the donation, 1
This is still good insurance co-.-
verage for such a small, but
vital, contribution.
In connection with the blood
mobile visit to Burnsville onAq
gust 27, when 67 pints of blood
were donated, the report from
the Red Cross stated that the la
dies of Higgins Memorial United
Methodist Church, Burnsville,
furnished the canteen.
Ladies from that church have
graciously helped with previous
visits of the blood mobile to
Burnsville, but it was ladies ot
Martin's Chapel United Metho
dist Church, Navdale, who gen
erously supplied the food and
served it during the August 27
visit. Officers of the Mayland
Red Cross Chapter, which serves
Mitchell, Avery and Yancey
Counties are very grateful to
member: of Mart ink Chapel for
their assistance.
