| Introduction | I'm an Appalachian Hillbilly, having grown up in the coal fields of Southern West Virginia, and having lived all my years up and down these ancient hills, from Coal City, WV to Charlottesville, VA, to Western CT and now Western NC. The Appalachians were formed by the same forces that formed Pangea a few hundred million years ago! To me, few things compare to gently pulling a southern brook trout out of a cold, clear, relatively unpolluted headwater stream, or walking through the spruce-fir forests on our highest peaks. All this grandeur continues to be embattled by industry, greed, thoughtlessness, and climate change, the biggest of them all. I write to reach out to others of like mind and spirit and to use my work to inspire others to stand up, call their representatives, and say, "Enough is enough!" I also want to encourage others to just get out and enjoy the great outdoors. |
