Hancock County author Eddie Price appears in the Fall 2024 quarterly magazine Humanities published by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Amy Lifson, assistant editor at Humanities was writing an article on the Cane Ridge Revival which took place in Kentucky in August 1801, and came across one of Price’s taped presentations online entitled “What I Saw at Cane Ridge.” Price presents the program across the state of Kentucky and beyond for the Kentucky Humanities Council which he has been affiliated with since 2012. Price says, “Amy Lifson called out of the blue from Washington DC and interviewed me for almost an hour. She had been writing about the Cane Ridge Revival and wanted to know about my experiences presenting the program as ‘an eyewitness to the revival.’ I shared several experiences and research on the revival and its long-lasting impact. The Humanities article starts with one of my quotes and includes the fact that I got the material while writing my first novel Widder’s Landing.” The article also includes an ending quote about the time Price was presenting a program at Crofton Chris tian Church. Price mentioned that for a hundred fifty years at most brush arbor sermons, tent revivals, and camp meetings the opening prayers ended with “Lord, make it like you did at Cane Ridge!” At that moment little old lady stood up and shouted, “They used to say that at our revivals in the 1950’s!”
