description:
The harsh pioneer mountain life of the men and women who first settled in the foothills of Appalachia is mostly an echo etched somewhere in the past, a distant memory, a time nearly forgotten. Most families have historical accounts that have been passed down through oral tradition. Still, only a few are left who remember some of the most influential and trailblazing matriarchs and patriarchs from a not-so-distant past. Silent Matriarchs represents the life and times of a few women whose influence guided their families through the hardships and joys of living and loving in rural eastern Kentucky.
