Status Updates From Appalachian Folklore Omens,...

this is a research read and it’s definitely not well written or with many sources (also there is the question of historical accuracy- some parts gloss over how American settlers treated indigenous populations like a parent in 1974 would with a very young child), but my takeaway is that someone decided to record stories they’d grown up hearing? so take that with a grain of salt. works as a starting off point.

This book is horrible. Like, who in their right mind would type out a paragraph “Of particular interest to the pioneers was the equality and fair treatment afforded to the local Indian women by their mates. More than one pioneers’s daughter chose to run away and live her life in the tee pee of a young brave, thereby intermingling the two cultures even further.“ YIKESSSSSSSSS.
