Cedar Choppers Oral Histories

Oral histories conducted by Ken Roberts with several generations of cedar choppers and others telling the stories of largely Scots-Irish migrants with roots in Appalachia who settled on the west side of the Balcones Fault during the mid-19th century, subsisting on hunting, trapping, moonshining, and, by the early 20th century, cutting, transporting, and selling cedar fence posts and charcoal.
