Wandering Back-Roads West Virginia with Carl E. Feather: Volume 1

For over four decades, Carl E. Feather periodically wandered The Mountain State's byways to document the stories and lifestyles of its fascinating residents.
More than 100 of the resulting photo essays and narratives have appeared in GOLDENSEAL magazine, West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture and History.
In this first volume of a series, Carl presents fourteen stories from these myriad excursions into the heart of Central Appalachia. Join him as he walks the streets of Wheeling with a nighttime vigilante known as Moon Dog, discovers the execution tasks required of Moundsville prison guards, spends a day with the father of a Coalwood Rocket Boy, visits with old-timers who recall life in Bloody Mingo, pauses at a memorial chapel to a little boy, shells corn with the owner of an old mill, attends the Country Store Opry, meets a Minnie Pearl impersonator, and much more!
From the panhandles to the coalfields, Wandering Back-Roads West Virginia is an engaging journey for all who love The Mountain State and its endearing people, culture, and history.
