This anthology was compiled through the cooperative efforts of instructor Linda Oxendine-Douglas and the members of The History of Appalachia Class of Union College, Fall Semester 1988.
The purpose of the project, as described in the anthology's preface, was "to provide the future teachers of Appalachia with a handbook of Appalachian culture and heritage to support their own teaching curriculums.
The work also was "lovingly dedicated" to Mr. Sherman Oxendine, Linda's father. "His lively support and love for Appalachia made this class possible. All Appalachian teachers need to know their own heritage and how to use it in a positive way in the classroom."
The anthology's cover sheet features a boy and his dog looking off into the mountains drawn by student Renee
