\“What Happens in Van Lear stays in Van Lear.\” We Van Lear natives understood this concept long before Las Vegas adopted it. This book sets forth the customs, rites and beliefs of the people of Van Lear as I saw them, but I believe it also represents the same characteristics of many small villages tucked among the mountains of Appalachia. I hope you enjoy reading it and for awhile imagining yourself living and working among these honest, lovable people.
