"Penned by Zell Miller in 1975 and published in 1976, long before he was elected Governor of Georgia, it is a celebration of his roots growing up in Young Harris, GA. He attended Young Harris College and later returned there to teach. Chapters are devoted to the college itself and its history. [...] [There is a] chapter on North Georgia dialects, which are considered to be one tongue removed from Chaucer's old English and Shakespearean language. He also discusses the progress of the area, as well as folklore and customs and mountain farming." --provided by Goodreads.
