Some have always looked down their noses at the people of Appalachia, including other Kentuckians. I’m sure the following article from the March 26, 1926 Pike County News was reassuring to the ignorant savages who populated Leslie County:
“Miss Martha Prewitt, society leader, of Lexington, has gone into the mountains of Leslie County, Ky, - the only county in the State which has not even one buggy and only one automobile within its bounds – and there will engage in community settlement work.”
