West Virginia
Author: Otis Rice
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813127335
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
" An essential resource for scholars, students, and all lovers of the Mountaineer State. From bloody skirmishes with Indians on the early frontier to the Logan County mine war, the story of West Virginia is punctuated with episodes as colorful and rugged as the mountains that dominate its landscape. In this first modern comprehensive history, Otis Rice and Stephen Brown balance these episodes of mountaineer individualism against the complexities of industrial development and the growth of social institutions, analyzing the events and personalities that have shaped the state. To create this history, the authors weave together many strands from the past and present. Included among these are geological and geographical features; the prehistoric inhabitants; exploration and settlement; relations with the Indians; the land systems and patterns of ownership; the Civil War and the formation of the state from the western counties of Virginia; the legacy of Reconstruction; politics and government; industrial development; labor problems and advances; and cultural aspects such as folkways, education, religion, and national and ethnic influences. For this second edition, the authors have added a new chapter, bringing the original material up to date and carrying the West Virginia story through the presidential election of 1992. Otis K. Rice is professor emeritus of history and Stephen W. Brown is professor of history at West Virginia Institute of Technology.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lyrics From the Hills: A Little Book of West Virginia Verse Let me sing when I feel like singing, And love when Iove's in the way, For though it may be joy bringing, It may only be for today. Let me take the good things and had things, And mix them together as one; For though the light rays are brilliant, Yet there are dark spots on the sun. Let me take the world as I find it, The good and the bad-and all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
