</div><br>Marsha and Arthur--<br><br>Thank you for your warm Appalachian welcome and apologies for the slow<br>response. Where else but at Lowlands-L could one find Wien and<br>"Westbygod Virginny" within the lines of the same e-mail!<br>
<br>I have a question: As yet I haven't progressed beyond reading some of<br>the Jack stories on-line, and I am wondering whether you might have any<br>recommendations as to good source material for Appalachian studies. I<br>
am interested in everything having to do with Appalachia: language,<br>history (especially the history of the mining industry), traditions, and<br>traditional arts and crafts.<br><br>If there are any recommendations that you or other Appalachian Listers<br>
would like to make, they would be most welcome.<br><br>Thanks and regards,<br><br>Peggy<br><br>P.S. Arthur--I'll be sure to let you know if Ron gives me any trouble.<br>So far it has been entirely the other way around, but Ron has been most<br>
