Organized around the life histories, medical struggles, and recollections of Trotter and his thirteen siblings, the story begins in 1914 with his parents. By tracing the family's movement northward after the unexpected death of his father, this engaging chronicle illuminates the journeys not only of a black man born with heart disease in the southern Appalachian coalfields, but of his family and community. This testament to the importance of ordinary lives fills a gap in the literature on an underexamined aspect of American experience: the lives of African Americans in rural Appalachia and in the nonurban endpoints of the Great Migration"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aOhio University Press series in race, ethnicity, and gender in Appalachia. 606 $aAfrican Americans$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American families$vBiography 606 $aHeart$xDiseases$xPatients$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican Americans$xMigrations$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMigration, Internal$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aWest Virginia$vBiography 607 $aOhio$vBiography 607 $aAppalachian Region, Southern$vBiography 615 0$aAfrican Americans 615 0$aAfrican American families 615 0$aHeart$xDiseases$xPatients 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xMigrations$xHistory 615 0$aMigration, Internal$xHistory 676 $a305.896/073092 686 $aSOC001000$aSOC026000$aSOC053000$2bisacsh 700 $aTrotter$b Otis$f1954-$01543350 702 $aTrotter$b Joe William 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797574503321 996 $aKeeping heart$93796742 997 $aUNINA
