Описание: Excerpt from Midwifery in the Kentucky Mountains: An Investigation

In the late summer of 1923 I undertook an investigation of midwives in certain selected mountain counties of Kentucky. Leslie, Knott and Owsley were chosen for this purpose. Their area is 373, 548 and 216 square miles respectively, and their population is and The largest places in each.are the county seats Hyden with 313 souls, Hindman with 467 and Booneville with 243, respectively. None are on a rail road and in none have the coal mines, the vast industrial power in Kentucky, yet been developed. On one edge of Knott county only (the Carrs Fork section) have a few mines been opened up and a branch railroad has penetrated about eight miles. Nor are any of these counties connected with.the outside world as yet by automobile roads but in Leslie and Owsley such roads leading to their county seats are actually under construction. The customary mode of travel, and often-the only possible one, is on horseback over such roads or trails as exist, through the creek beds, up the branches, over the gaps and ridges of the mountains.
