Praise for Robert Morgan:
Robert Morgan's lyric mountain language is equal to the epic sweep of history, to the grandeur of the land itself.
— Lee Smith. . .
There is comfort and humor in Morgan's evocation of country people trying to survive.
— Publishers Weekly. . .
[Robert Morgan] is a seasoned author whose prose reads like poetry and whose nonfiction reads like novels... His books teach and inspire. He gives the past, with all its heroes and villains, a new life, if not a new purpose.
— Southern Literary Review. . .
