Letters From Papaw

Like most children, the Myers siblings were oblivious to their family''s fascinating background. After receiving a history assignment from their mom, the kids send a letter to their papaw, Leon Myers, asking for details about his childhood. The responses, sent over the course of a year, result in numerous revelations about the children''s true Cade''s Cove heritage.

Filled with humorous stories and personal insight into the Cove, "Letters From Papaw" provides readers with a unique perspective from someone born in Cades Cove.

Included within the book are photographs from the family''s personal collection, as well as an "Appalachian" vocabulary list.
