Van Boorean's Hill

<p>Henry Van Boorean made his own way--backstreet boxing bootleg wine-making and homemade fertilizer (spiked with roadkill). The Great Depression hit everyone hard. The people of Hopewell Valley Kentucky were unmoved. They had always been hit hard. With his polio-stricken wife two raucous sons a temperamental rooster and a cast of eccentric characters Van Boorean's Hill is the anti-Waltons...and decidely more true-to-life. A slice of Appalachian life in mid-twentieth century America.</p>
