Loyal Jones was a prolific writer with literally dozens of published articles concerning Appalachian culture and its people to his credit. In his years of writing and speaking about the region, Jones has become one of its best-known and best-loved figures.

One characteristic of Jones' writing is optimism about the resiliency of mountain people and their culture, says Ron Eller, former director of the Appalachian Center at the University of Kentucky.

"Jones' message has been that Appalachia should be judged by its own values-family, land, traditionalism-rather than mainstream values of accumulation, wealth and power.

In many ways, he represents the best of Appalachia, the part of Appalachian society that values people for what they really are."
