Article from Kentucky Educational Television
I'm sure this may have been posted here before, but KET website has a very informative and interesting web article/timeline about Jean Ritchie and her life here:

There were some cool facts i didn't know in there. I think the webpage is a kind of outline of their PBS show "Mountain Born" about Jean.
