The spirit of the mountains eBook Emma Miles
Emma Bell Miles is a terrific author. She paints the beauty of the late 19th century Appalachian Mountain culture but doesn't try to hide its ugly side, something that seemingly derived from the culture itself, probably from the European pre-renaissance period. This ugly growth seemed to sprout from the culture’s core denying both women and men much of the satisfaction they could have derived from their way of life. Alcohol clearly played a role, but even so, had these people been taught to acknowledge the benefits of the division of labor, and the men taught a deeper appreciation for the contributions of the women without feeling that such recognition made them somehow less masculine; life could have been more satisfying. Not easier by any means, but more livable.Product details

The spirit of the mountains eBook Emma Miles Reviews
Beautiful prose. Beautiful messages. Worth you reading time.
Southern rural, country life is beautifully described in this classic. Anyone from our area here in the mountains of TN should have a copy. There is little like it available for anyone interested in exploring mountain life on Walden's Ridge.
An absolutely beautiful book on Appalachian life in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The author writes from experience with intelligence and insight without demeaning her subject but in fact praising a mountain way of life in which she actively participated. I highly recommend the book for those interested in learning more about mountain living from a well educated and poetic Appalachian woman.
One doesn't often read about someone from an affluent background choosing to live an impoverished life in the mountains. The observations and the frustrations are fascinating. I really enjoyed Emma Bell Mile's insights and believe they apply as much now as they did so many years ago. If you are interested in the history of life in the Tennessee Mountains, this is a good read.
This book let's you know how Emma Bell Miles felt about the many twists & turns that life threw her way. It left me thinking about the effects she had on her husband and family; but have to remember that she did have an unfortunate illness. Very interesting study. Leona
Not a 'local color' perversion but a gentle and insightful look into 'old Appalachia'. This is the Appalachia only found now as vestiges and remnants. The author sees past what others did not; the poverty, the hard work, the lack of education. And she shows us the beauty and the nobility.
Emma Bell Miles portrays a snapshot of a cultural heritage of a people before industrialization in the South. Shone through the eyes of a whimsical yet clairvoyant southern schoolteacher, the life of Chattanooga mountain folk in the late 19th century is historically accounts by Miles. Forgotten songs and tall tales, ways of life are remembered and expanded upon in a way that makes modern man yearn for something more. Worth a read of you have any fascination of American culture.
