Volume 3 of the Wandering Back-Roads West Virginia with Carl E. Feather book series
by
The third volume in this series focuses on the theme of nostalgia as Carl visits a variety of "old-time" places through the state. He chats with an old-fashioned barber who fretted about raising a haircut price to $6, visits two drive-in movie theaters, gets a gift from a general store owner, and gets to know some roadside vendors who take advantage of those famous W.Va. pull-off areas. Chapters are: Traveler’s Repose; Robert Head, poet; The Old Fiddler (Ivan Gorby); Lawn Art; Old Barbershops; Wanna Red Barn; Cook’s Mill; Grafton and Sunset Drive-in Theaters; General Store; Saving the Old Music; Roadside Vendors; An Old-Fashioned Auctioneer; Whisperin’ Gracie; Wandering into Difficulties.
Documenting Appalachia's stories one book at a time.
I am a retired print journalist/photojournalist who writes nonfiction about the people, history, and culture of Appalachia--mainly West Virginia and northeast Ohio (yes, the federal government considers that Appalachia!). I also produce short documentary films about my book subjects; these can be viewed at https://YouTube.com/@FeatherCottageMedia. We sell our books at fairs and events throughout the tri-state region. Our home is in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia.
