The New Road - I-26 and the Footprints of Progress in Appalachia

July 28, 2017 Rob Amberg

Howard and Lucille Babbitt picking apples from their orchard for the last time at Sprinkle Creek.

 

The Babbitts left Orlando, Florida, in the early 1970s, when their orange grove that had been in Howard's family for thee generations was swallowed by development surrounding DisneyWorld. They planted apples and raised their children on Sprinkle Creek. We bought rocking chairs at their yard sale before they moved because of I-26.

There are copies of my book I-26 and the Footprints of Progress in Appalachia available for purchase on my website. Copies of my other books, including Sodom Laurel Album, are also available. http://robamberg.com/store/
