Note: The information contained in this book is not necessarily in chronological order. Every attempt was made to correctly identify each person.Just Over the Hill: Black Appalachians in Jackson County, Western North Carolina by Victoria A. Casey McDonald could be recounted as part of “the Liars Bench,” a casual storytelling tradition among southern men sitting in the public square and at barbershops—folktales of a bygone era for entertainment purposes only. This collection of Appalachian narratives simultaneously steps into the circle of griots throughout the African Diaspora. Although Victoria never lived outside of Jackson County, her appetite for knowledge and her ancestral pride granted her regional and global citizenship simultaneously.
