Non-Fiction Memoir
United States Senator Robert C. Byrd’s autobiography,
Child of the Appalachian Coalfields follows Senator
Byrd’s experiences from his boyhood in the early 1920s to
his election in 2000, which won him an unprecedented eighth
term in the Senate. Along the way, Senator Byrd offers
commentary on national and international events that
occurred throughout his long life in public service. Senator
Byrd’s journey from the hardscrabble coalfields to the
marbled halls of Congress has inspired generations of people
in West Virginia and throughout the nation. From reading the
stories of the Founding Fathers as a young boy by the light
of a kerosene lamp to the swearing of an oath for more than
a half-century to guard the United States Constitution,
Senator Byrd’s life is legendary. Byrd always stands by his
principles, earning the affection of the people of his home
state and the respect of Americans from all walks of life.
With his beloved Erma ever by his side, Robert C. Byrd has
never forgotten his roots, harkening back to those early
lessons that he learned as a Child of the Appalachian
Coalfields.
