A History of Appalachia
Author: Richard B. Drake
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813137934
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Richard Drake has skillfully woven together the various strands of the Appalachian experience into a sweeping whole. Touching upon folk traditions, health care, the environment, higher education, the role of blacks and women, and much more, Drake offers a compelling social history of a unique American region. The Appalachian region, extending from Alabama in the South up to the Allegheny highlands of Pennsylvania, has historically been characterized by its largely rural populations, rich natural resources that have fueled industry in other parts of the country, and the strong and wild, undeveloped land. The rugged geography of the region allowed Native American societies, especially the Cherokee, to flourish. Early white settlers tended to favor a self-sufficient approach to farming, contrary to the land grabbing and plantation building going on elsewhere in the South. The growth of a market economy and competition from other agricultural areas of the country sparked an economic decline of the region's rural population at least as early as 1830. The Civil War and the sometimes hostile legislation of Reconstruction made life even more difficult for rural Appalachians. Recent history of the region is marked by the corporate exploitation of resources. Regional oil, gas, and coal had attracted some industry even before the Civil War, but the postwar years saw an immense expansion of American industry, nearly all of which relied heavily on Appalachian fossil fuels, particularly coal. What was initially a boon to the region eventually brought financial disaster to many mountain people as unsafe working conditions and strip mining ravaged the land and its inhabitants. A History of Appalachia also examines pockets of urbanization in Appalachia. Chemical, textile, and other industries have encouraged the development of urban areas. At the same time, radio, television, and the internet provide residents direct links to cultures from all over the world. The author looks at the process of urbanization as it belies commonly held notions about the region's rural character.

Gaithersburg

ISBN: 9780738523729
Category : Gaithersburg (Md.)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
From its eighteenth-century roots as Benjamin Gaither's upstart central Maryland crossroads, Gaithersburg grew quickly into an early agricultural powerhouse. With the mighty roar of railroads came the rush of cultural prominence and the sweep of growth and prosperity. The city soon bloomed into a high-tech hub for the capital region and the nation. Witness to the march of time from Washington's Revolutionary campaigns to pivotal Confederate troop movements, Gaithersburg was also a waypoint for many early westbound settlers and is today situated in the frenzied center of East Coast traffic and communications. Gaithersburg: History of a City paints a colorful portrait of the town's early days when Montgomery County's wheat and tobacco fields gained agricultural muscle. Readers ride the rails of the Baltimore & Ohio as the breathless young town connects to Washington and the world beyond. The excitement of the boom times that followed comes to life with detailed stories of the days when science came to town. First, the city participated in an international experiment that gathered astronomical information still used today. The story continues when the National Institute of Standards and Technology moved in, initiating an even bigger boom and ushering in the modern research and development industry that made Gaithersburg a national hub of technology.
