Description

Book Synopsis
Provides a grounded, yet poignant, description of what it was like to grow up during the 1930s and 1940s in the mountains of western North Carolina and on a sharecropper's farm in eastern Tennessee. Leonard Carson Lambert paints a vivid picture of life on the reservation and off, documenting work, family life, education, religion, and more.

Trade Review
"Lambert's book is clearly written and thought-provoking. If you are interested in Native American culture, you owe it to yourself to pick up this book and hear a different voice."—Greg Langley, The Advocate
"Anyone interested in general American Indian, Cherokee, and southern culture and history should be encouraged to read Up from These Hills, which would be a good addition to any public or academic library east of the Mississippi River."—Joanna Anderson, Tennessee Library Association
