In their isolation, they have developed a unique subculture and defended it with a tenacity and pride that puzzles and confuses the larger society. Written 25 years ago, this book was one scholar's attempt to understand these people and their culture. For this new edition, Wayne Flynt has provided a new retrospective introduction and an up-to-date bibliography.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Wayne Flynt may not have started the late--twentieth--century wave of historical research on postbellum Southern poor whites, but he was the first to catch it.
