Far Appalachia
by Noah Adams
A Native of an East Kentucky river town, Noah Adams has Appalachia in his blood. During the course of over two decades at National Public Radio, Adams has frequently returned to the region to interview its inhabitants and report on events there. Knowing there was more to the area than poverty and Deliverance-style menace, Adams yearned to "find a slower way into the country" from which he came. He finds it on the New River, whose 330 miles he travels over the course of the personal journey he recounts in FAR APPALACHIA. By foot, by mountain bike, by canoe, and, most thrillingly, by white-water raft, Adams follows the New north. As he passes through a landscape by turns unspoiled and ravaged, its people and their history come to vivid life. and with a winning combination of sharp reporting, warm humanity, and gentle whimsy, Adams introduces us to the men and women--pioneers and preachers, rapids-running daredevils and bluegrass virtuosos, post-urban naturalists and distant Scots-Irish kin--whose paths all merge with the waters of the New.
