Description: David Lee Thompson has produced a caring and introspective personal account of the vanishing Appalachian culture. This way of life existed for over twelve generations, teaching its people the importance of family, community, and religion. Thompson s old home place, now empty and lonely, holds faint whispers of what was once alive with laughter and reminiscences. His boyhood memories of life on Bowen Creek represent the last vestiges of a time and place now nearly extinct.
