Author and Harper College professor M. Glenn Taylor talks about West Virginia ways in his new book, The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart. It takes us to the hills of southern West Virginia and its Coal Wars. Although it’s a work of fiction, his writing is also an ode to the author’s native land and its very factual history. Eight Forty-Eight’s book critic Donna Seaman recently talked with Taylor.
