Paperback: 256 pages First published in 1940, and now reprinted with a perceptive forward by Dean Cadle, Still's novel River of Earth has become one of the classics of Appalachian literature. It is the story, seen through the eyes of a small boy, of three years in the life of his family and their kin. He sees his parents pulled between the meager farm with its uncertain promise of material prosperity. In the world privation, violence, and death, are part of everyday life, accepted and endured.
