Mountain Homespun will be of special interest to those studying southern Appalachian handicrafts, the 1890s handicraft revival, and northern Protestant missionary work in turn-of-the-century Appalachia. - North Carolina Historical Review

""""Mountain Homespun is much more than a memoir. It offers unrivaled specific information on the processes of mountain crafts- not only on weaving, spinning, and dyeing, the author's primary interest, but also on basketry, quilting, and other pursuits. All in all, the book is an important publishing event.""""

- Berea College Newsletter

""""This is a wonderful book. It belongs at the bedside of every spinner and weaver everywhere."""" - Jude Daurelle, Handwoven
