Hidden in Appalachia: The Life of Poet Effie Waller Smith. Top Story - April 2026.
The life of Effie Waller Smith has roots in events that occurred long before she was born. In 1860, a slave auction in Pikeville, Kentucky, shaped the future of her family. At the time, Kentucky was divided in its loyalties between the Union and the Confederacy, and Pike County reflected that tension. During the sale, a tavern owner known as General Ratliff attempted to prevent the separation of an enslaved family. He was only able to purchase a woman and her young daughter. They were taken into his household and given his last name. These two individuals would later become Smith’s grandmother and mother.
