In this month's Voices from the Archive, we hear from The Clinch Mountain Girls. These five women came to Tennessee back in the ‘70s, many of them inspired by the Back to the Land movement. They set out on a bit of a quest, with a particular kind of work at the end of their path, and it wouldn’t be easy. They would eventually raise their own food. Some of them would build cabins from wood they harvested. They are good friends to this day. Part 1 is about this quest toward Clinch Mountain, about what drew them to Tennessee farmland, and about getting there.
More stories of these women and nineteen others can be found in "Clinch Mountain Girls," an oral history written by Nancy Withington Bell, one of the interviewees for this story.

In this month's Voices from the Archive, we hear from Rose Marie Shields, a longtime teacher. If you talk to her students, they’ll tell you that anybody would be lucky to be in class with her. That she has shaped them in ways that are still with them today. And today, we get to have class with Mrs. Shields. In today’s class with Mrs. Shields we’ll shoot for four lessons, including, I think, the best thing we can learn.
