On this episode of Our American Stories, Harrison Mayes was born in the coalfields of Kentucky, where a life underground was all but guaranteed. But after surviving a near-fatal mine accident, he felt called to do something different. Using homemade concrete signs and backroad highways, Mayes dedicated the rest of his life to one mission: spreading the word of God. J.D. Phillips, also known as the Appalachian Storyteller, shares the quiet, determined legacy of a man who turned suffering into a lifelong message of faith.
