Songs of the Whippoorwill

We need to reclaim some of the wildness that is deep within us. We need to reinvent ourselves for the 21st century according to the author John Blankenship who many years ago began a quest in search of the true mountaineer essence. In the course of his journey the writer takes us back through history and culture exploring mythology religion and literature-takes us on a voyage of self-discovery. Gracefully written and stylishly revealing Songs of the Whippoorwill (Volume III) charts a new course for the Appalachian spirit one that has been waiting to emerge since the days of our fathers.
