Mountain Homespun

Mountain Homespun will be of special interest to those studying southern Appalachian handicrafts, the 1890s handicraft revival, and northern Protestant missionary work in turn-of-the-century Appalachia. North Carolina Historical Review

Mountain Homespun is much more than a memoir. It offers unrivaled specific information on the processes of mountain crafts not only on weaving, spinning, and dyeing, the author s primary interest, but also on basketry, quilting, and other pursuits. All in all, the book is an important publishing event.
