The 1955 Hindusthan (India) Standard reported that Graham’s tale of the frontier “ ‘Appalachian Spring’ is the best representative of the country Miss Graham comes from . . . it brilliantly brings back a chapter of American history, those pioneering days—a much needed corrective to be set against the picture of the fat, well-fed, cigar-smoking American.” In 1974, the Graham Company again performed Appalachian Spring in American-occupied Saigon, Vietnam, less than a year before the North Vietnamese entered the city.
