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.
