Description
"Go Down the Mountain" was inspired by the stories of the people who lost their homes to Shenandoah National Park in the 1930s. It's a frank and sometimes unsettling look at what life was like for America’s poorest during the Great Depression and the eugenics movement.
At once dramatic adventure, moving love story and recollection of a vanished life, the story follows mountain girl Bee on her harrowing journey to discover the truth about her family, living and dead.

This is the story of Appalachia as it was during the Depression, from the first person account of Bee, the candid protagonist and unlikely heroine "hillbilly". Lots of interesting information about governmental interference. with which we are all-too familiar in today's world, but a foreign concept in the 30's in the US. It is a fast read and totally entertaining. I would recommend this for a fun summer entertainment.
