1325 South Oak Street - UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS · Champaign, II 61820 Appalachian Mountain Religion A History Appalachian DEBORAH VANSAU MCCAULEY "A monumental achievement.... Certainly the best thing written on Appalachian re ligion and one of the best works on the region itself." - Loyal Jones, founding Mountain Religion director of the Appalachia n Center at Berea College Appalachian Mountain Religion paims a portrait of the development of the United States' largest- and arguably most highly variegated-regional religious tradition, one that reaches back 300 years. The extremely meager literature available on the topic, especially in the humanities, is due to mountain religion being essentially an oral tradition. This book is the first comprehensive overview of this tradition. Mccauley places Appa lachian mountain religion squarely at the center of American religious history, depicting the interaction and dramatic conflicts between it and the denominations that comprise the Protestant "mainstream." She clarifies the tradition and symbol systems of the area's principally oral religious cul­ ture, its worship practices and beliefs, further illuminating the clash between mountain religion and the "dominant religious culture" of the United States. This clash has helped to shape the course of American religious histOry.
