They captured a cross section of traditional 20th century American history at the very moment it was being snuffed out by the overwhelming force of postmodern urbanism. Book seven is a comprehensive history of the churches and church leaders of the area. Since most of the religious people are of Scots-Irish ethnicity so are the religions. There is no Hegelian dialectic nor other sophistry. There is no politically correct pandering to non indigenous religions for the sake of specious 'inclusiveness'. This is a discussion of the area's religion before our culture got like it is today. There are interviews with numerous well educated and well spoken members of traditional religions. These persons are from numerous sects, denominations, belief systems. So the net result is to expound on the zenith of the Judeo-Christian heritage of the region. And no, even though the writers and the oral historians are from 'flyover country' that heritage is not that of a bunch of backwards hillbillies."; Foxfire Series; 8.6 X 5.7 X 1.3 inches; 510 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
