Despite having been born and raised in Chambers County, Alabama, in the southernmost foothills of Appalachia, James Still is generally considered one of the finest writers to have lived and worked in Kentucky. Most of Still's writings - including his acclaimed novel River of Earth (1940), award-winning short stories, poetry, children's literature, and folklore collections - are set in the eastern Kentucky hills, where he lived from 1931 to his death on April 28, 2001.
