Appalachia in the British media....again

I had written a review recently , reviewing an article about the people who were called 'Melungeons' in the British newspaper 'The Economist'.

Just today I received a link to another article published in The Guardian, another British newspaper, sent to me by a Caudill cousin.

The article is in the form of  captioned photographs, titled "Life in Appalachia: Walmart, church, politics and a tight community – in pictures". All the photos were taken in Prestonsburg, Floyd County, Kentucky.

"Prestonsburg is a small coal mining town in the Appalachian hills. It has undergone drastic changes in recent decades but a sense of community remains, much of it centered around the shopping plaza on the outskirts or one of its more than two dozen places of worship"

Maybe the Brits have found a new interest in Appalachian history and culture.
