Transforming the Appalachian Countryside
Author: Ronald L. Lewis
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807862975
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
In 1880, ancient-growth forest still covered two-thirds of West Virginia, but by the 1920s lumbermen had denuded the entire region. Ronald Lewis explores the transformation in these mountain counties precipitated by deforestation. As the only state that lies entirely within the Appalachian region, West Virginia provides an ideal site for studying the broader social impact of deforestation in Appalachia, the South, and the eastern United States. Most of West Virginia was still dominated by a backcountry economy when the industrial transition began. In short order, however, railroads linked remote mountain settlements directly to national markets, hauling away forest products and returning with manufactured goods and modern ideas. Workers from the countryside and abroad swelled new mill towns, and merchants ventured into the mountains to fulfill the needs of the growing population. To protect their massive investments, capitalists increasingly extended control over the state's legal and political systems. Eventually, though, even ardent supporters of industrialization had reason to contemplate the consequences of unregulated exploitation. Once the timber was gone, the mills closed and the railroads pulled up their tracks, leaving behind an environmental disaster and a new class of marginalized rural poor to confront the worst depression in American history.

Broken to Beautiful
Author: Marcia White
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973605988
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
Everyone has an untold secret or a chapter in their life that they wish could be erased. We often keep these dark memories hidden because they are too painful to be dealt with. In Broken to Beautiful, Marcia gives her personal account of life before and after she suffered molestation by different abusers. The book highlights some of the side effects of sexual abuse that are common to many victims. Marcia also shares the details of each dream, song, book, and revelation that the Lord used to set her free. Because she has received such liberty through the healing power of Jesus Christ, she wants others to also be whole. The final section of the book presents simple guidelines for the reader to follow on their pathway to restoration.
