At the time it was written, Night Comes to the Cumberlands framed an urgent appeal to the American Conscience. Today it details Appalachia's difficult past, and at the same time, presents an accurate historical backdrop for a contemporary understanding of the Appalachian region.

Night Comes to the Cumberlands: A Biography of a Depressed Area | Harry M Caudill

Picture of Harry M. Caudill author of the groundbreaking book, Night Comes to the Cumberlands, which is credited as kick starting the War on Poverty in America.
We‘re both actually from the same small town and he‘s been a figure who has always loomed large in my imagination.
