Keepers of the Tradition

 

Keepers of the Tradition is a collaboration between portrait artist Leslie Gregg and author Michael Abraham to present portraits of contemporary Appalachian people who are pursuing the avocations and occupations of their parents and grandparents. The book contains a dozen stories and portraits, lavishly augmented with photos of them and their interests and localities.

After seeing their portraits and reading about these people, would you like to hear them in their own words? If so, audio files can be found for each of the subjects in the book here:
