The charm of the
Appalachian mountain folk, living in the mountain coves and hollows, lies in
their isolation from outside influences; their manner of speech and the way of
life dates back to earlier more relaxed times and brings forth many pleasant
memories. See the Table of Contents for photos of various
parts of Barbour County.
