A ROAD TO THE PAST
The mountains offer more than just beautiful trees and wildflowers. They are rich with unique people, people of hidden talents. These people are slow to change and what they consider necessities of their world are prized possessions in ours. On a lonely dirt road lived one of these people. This is the story of my visit to his corner of the world.

ANTIQUE COVERLETS
Coverlets are one of the earliest forms of American weaving, and dates back to the eighteenth century. Back in the Colonial days, people were busy growing, retting, scutching and spinning their own flax into linen yarns. They were also shearing, carding and spinning their wool into yarn. One would always find a four-harness loom, which was homemade from hand-hewn timbers in each and every home. Blankets and geometric overshot <i> coverlets </i> were typical home products.
