Walton’s Creek: Land of Our Fathers, Volume II

Retail Price: $29.95

Walton’s Creek: Land of Our Fathers, Volume II is the fictional story of the Atlee and Caughill families as they live, love and survive in the hills and hollers of Walton’s Creek, Kentucky.

The dialogue in this simple story is true to the dialect, vocabulary and phrasings of the people of rural western Kentucky in the early 20th century. Volume Two of a two-volume set, the narrative flows through time from the 1950s-1970s.

Walton’s Creek native Rickie Zayne Ashby based the characters on members of his own family, his parents and grandparents in particular, and reflects what life was like in this humble but hard working community. It is a world where families tilled the land and raised their own food, supplemented by meat from wild game … a place where men worked in the coal mines and women maintained the home with no indoor plumbing while trying to adapt to new developments and changes to the American way of life.

Walton’s Creek: Land of Our Fathers, Vol. II is a wonderful story that is remarkably similar to country life in the Bluegrass state.
