...sense comic-strip characters -though to bemused social workers their ways often seem as anticly unreal as those of Snuffy Smith or Moonbeam McSwine. While they have few worldly goods and little interest in acquiring more, most mountain folk of Southern Appalachia cling stubbornly to an ar cane way of life and the bucolic virtues-hardihood, close-knit family ties, fierce independence of outside authority-that were the models of an earlier America.
