Publisher's Synopsis
They are all gone now, but the denizens of Mayberry, Virginia, in the first half of the twentieth century made up a palate of the most colorful characters one can imagine. John Hassell Yeatts, a man who was born and reared in this, the real and original Mayberry, has done a masterful job of capturing the strength and the spirit of the people who lived out their lives in this little-known corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
