Thirteen states between (and including) parts of New York and Mississippi constitute the enigmatic Appalachian region—home to the beautiful mountain system that shares its name. It is a region that has produced some of the most talented writers, gifted artisans, and richest lore in the world. The University of Tennessee Press is pleased to be the publisher of many books that celebrate this very special place. This holiday season we showcase some of our most recent releases in Appalachian studies. UT Press—at the corner of Appalachia and the world.
