Washtubs and Chin-Qua-Pins: A Childhood in the West Virginia Coalfields
Self-published by author John Thomas Burke, this is his story. In his preface, Burke writes "I hope that this attempt to describe that period in the life of my family following the First World War, when I was born, through the Depression years when I was growing up, will be interesting to others." His stories offer a description of growing up in a coal mining area, close family ties, and the remarkable events that led to an even more remarkable music career. 134 pages.
