In his own words, this is the story ofAlex Stewart, a remarkable Tennessee mountain character whose life epitomizes the pioneer development in America.
Alex Stewart was a recipient of a National Heritage Fellowship Award in 1983 by the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington which recognized him as a living national treasure.
Over a twenty-year period of friendship, the author developed a profound respect and great love for Alex Stewart, a truly remarkable Tennessee mountain character. The best of hundreds of hours of recorded conversations with Stewart are compiled into a moving portrait of this cooper, father of 13, farmer, logger, railroad man, and do-it-yourself interpreter of his rugged homeland. Through his own account of the people around him, Alex describes his rural life in the late 19th and 20th centuries through stories such as when he was bit by a rabid dog, when neighbor children begged for food, or how people gathered honey and made marbles, moonshine, or furniture. Throughout his 94 years, Alex, who died in 1985, depended upon his own good sense to direct him and it led him through a rich and fascinating life.
