I moved the following material to the talk page for now; the bold text I have added. While I'm now interested to go read Mr. Caudill's book, I'm not sure Wikipedia normally includes "discussion" sections for editors commentary:

Hi A.B. You wrote: "With the Caudill article, I was concerned about NPOV and general structure -- I just haven't seen amazon-style discussions in other authors' articles. Maybe the WikiProject Books folks might have some ideas on this -- I left a note there." In the Harry M. Caudill article, I had made a "discussion" section, not as a discussion between editors, but trying to move material I had not written into a new section -- the material did not have its own section and was floating around external links. So it really isn't necessary, unless cited by the original contributor. Thanks. Best. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 18:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC) ( talk)
As far as I can tell, this material was added by User:68.0.240.15 in the revision to the article on Harry M. Caudill: Revision as of 17:46, 15 November 2005. Agreed that it's a bit suspicious and uncited. It should be left out for now. Best. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 18:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC) ( talk)

1) The following should be added after the first sentence under "Biography":
[As an attorney, Caudill earned the reputation as a lawyer of choice in southeastern Kentucky for miners and landowners seeking damages from the coal mining industry, engendering the animosity of the overwhelmingly dominant industry and its economic and political allies.
The legal practice was later superseded by endeavors of unreserved writing, speaking, and teaching. Sparking much publicity and controversy locally, regionally and beyond, he received both adulation and revilement, depending upon the views held by supporters or detractors of both coal industry practices and government policies.]
2) On the search suggestions, he appears as "politician". This should be changed to "author, environmentalist".
He was not primarily a politician overall.

I took one of Harry Caudill's Appalachian history class in 1980 @ UK. 1) He gave us a copy of an article and implied that he wrote it, "How an election was bought and sold," although its authorship was attributed to "Harper's staff." I would like to find my copy. 2) It seems to me that "Night comes to the Cumberlands," was the impetus for the War on Poverty, yet Caudill did not care for the results of the War on Poverty. 3) He did not mention anything about genetics and dumbing down of Appalachians. He did provide a medical journal article by a doc, possibly at UK, who put forth that some Appalachians merely thought they were disabled, and became disabled by this thought. 4) He took us for a tour of a mine in Letcher County, Kentucky, that was owned by a person/company who Caudill said had advocated for federal mine safety laws, the owner testifying that "Dead men don't mine coal." Also on the tour was a Bingham (Barry?) from the Courier-Journal. HillbillyWoman ( talk) 15:23, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
I would like to read some of his oral history, interviews and folklore, such as that attributed to the basis of Pharaoh's Army. Any locations? HillbillyWoman ( talk) 15:42, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
