About this title

Synopsis

This is the definitive biography of Reverend Bob Childress of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Often compared to Mark Twain's tales of the Mississippi, the style and the text show, with stark clarity, the transforming effects Childress and his ministry had on the rough and wild mountain communities of this section of Virginia.

About the Author

Richard C. Davids lived in Bob Childress' country when he was researching and writing The Man Who Moved a Mountain. He talked to Bob's widow, his children, his brother Hasten, classmates from Union Seminary, and hundreds of the mountain people Bob had served. The result is a vivid portrayal of characters, incidents, and the mountains themselves.
