                  <text>Community Change in the Foothills of Appalachia interviews were conducted by Becky Denton in 2004-05 for the Kentucky Oral History Commission. Denton interviewed citizens who resided in Clark, Estill, Lincoln, Madison and Powell Counties, but grew up and lived and worked in either the foothills or mountains of Appalachia. The interviewees, which include a diverse sample of men, women and people of color, share stories of growing up in communities such as Bobtown, Cedar Grove, Irvine, Ravenna, and Winchester. Interview topics include, but are not limited to, discussions about family, education and work histories, health care, local industries, such as timber and railroads, farming experiences, and other related themes. In particular, the interviews capture the perceived social, political, and economic changes that took place in Central and Eastern Kentucky during the 20th and early 21st centuries.</text>
