    My grandma was born in 1897 and only went to school til third grade in Mississippi. She was Choctaw Indian and had to work on the farm and help her momma with the other 13 children. She made sure her children all went to school. My mother was her youngest and she was the only one of her siblings that graduated high school. My mother made sure her children all went to college. Education was not an option for us as it was drilled in our heads that it was a necessity for life. I am so thankful to my grandma for seeing and understand the value of learning. Thanks for sharing this book with us. My ancestors were not educated as I was, but they knew it was important. Thanks to that ability to know how to better your family that helped generations 😊

    This is my favorite Jesse Stuart book. I'm a former Kentuckian and 3rd generation teacher. Sadly there won't be a fourth. The state of the teaching profession is sufferring due to poor state government decisions. Contrary to what some believe, it is not the students who are driving potential teachers away.

    This one hits close to my heart. I grew up in Greenup County, KY where Jesse Stuart was also from. I was fortunate that I had a couple of his sisters as teachers. My best friend in high school lived in Plum Grove, just up the hill from the church. I remember as a teen, learning to drive, I dreaded driving down W Hollow. It was an old road, very narrow and winding. It was so narrow that if you met someone coming the other direction, one of you had to pull off the side so the other could pass. Nerve wracking for a rookie driver! I was always told that W Hollow was so narrow because it was created back when Model T's were common. Jesse and his writings embody the spirit of Appalachia, and specifically Greenup County. Thank you so much, Tipper, for bringing back some great early memories for me.

    I’m really enjoying this one. I was born in Kentucky. I have been away since 1989. I would go home several times a year. Then after my mother passed in 2010, I made my last visit in 2011. This story sounds like the stories she told me as a child and her life in a one room school house. One thing she told me was my grandmother had made her a new flour sack dress for her first day of the fourth grade and how her teacher was wearing the same pattern flour sack dress. I collect books from Kentucky authors. I have several of Jessie Stuart’s books. I’ve been so busy with my garden and animals I’ve gotten away from your last four readings. I’m so excited! Now I get to move ahead to the second, third and fourth Thank you Tipper. You made this homesick lady very happy with this one.

    My grandmother taught in schools like your writer and she had to "board" with trustees families. I am now a principal at a K-12 rural school in Alabama. We have certainly advanced in many ways but sadly some have stayed basically the same. Poverty, need, lack of interest in education are all still very active. At least I don't have to carry buckets of water or chop firewood, but yes, some kids still need baths.

  • @Sandi-w9d

    Tipper, I have been a fan of Jesse Stuart since I was a child, having been read to at night even when I was old enough to read myself. Then, when I was in my early teens I read my favorite of his. DAUGHTER OF THE LEGEND left a lasting impact on me. I can still remember now, when I have a grandchild that age, the tears and hurt I felt due to the injustice and prejudice that took place in it. Although it was fiction, it is rumored to be based on his romance with a Melungeon girl. There are several Melungeon traits I share with other members of my family and I am proud of what used to bring shame and disrespect to others years ago in Eastern KY and Newman's Ridge in TN. If you folks haven't read it, I highly recommend it!
    Speaking of the description of the dew, it brought back memories of this barefoot little country girl, high stepping thru the tall grass near the dirt packed yard. Have you ever heard of DEW CRACKS? I got them! They were painful splits of the tender skin between your toes. Orphaned early, I was raised by my mama's parents and her maiden sister. Entertainment except for an old B & W TV was reading and story telling, memorization of Bible passages and poems! My Grandma, Amy, taught school before she married and rode side saddle to board thru the week near the one room school where she taught. Her father was a teacher, trustee, etc. Education was very important in our household, through book learning and common sense. My teachers encouraged my writing as I wrote my first poem before I was twelve! Later on, I went to near W HOLLOW and did a reading at the park named in his honor! Many of my short stories, poems, etc have been published and I have traveled to read them, but being THERE sure made for a great memory.

    Oh, my goodness! I'm almost 76 and I fondly remember my 7th grade teacher, Mr. Carmel Wellman, reading that book aloud to our class daily. Jesse Stuart inspired Mr. Wellman to become a teacher, and he was one of the best. He grew up very poor in the tiny town of Crossnore, NC, and went on to graduate from Wake Forest University and receive a graduate degree from Western Carolina University. Wonderful choice!
