Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monacans and Miners sheds new light on the indigenous and immigrant communities of southern Appalachia by comparing the political, economic, and social experiences of the Monacans, a historically significant Native American group in Amherst County, Virginia, with those of Scottish and Irish settlers who made their home in Wyoming County, West Virginia, in the late eighteenth century. The Monacans are the descendants of a powerful people who both fought and traded with the Powhatan Indians. As a tide of English settlers swept through Virginia and continued west, some Monacans took refuge in the Blue Ridge Mountains. For the next few centuries the Monacans, like some other Native American groups in the Southeast, were legally classified as black and not permitted to vote or hold office. Many were also forced into indentured servitude, laboring in apple orchards for large landowners. Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic resurgence of Monacan ethnic and political identity and independence. They have won legal recognition as a tribe, collaborated with local universities to document their history, and worked to create a tribal museum. Samuel R. Cook tells the story of the Monacans in a uniquely comparative way. Their changing fortunes and relationships with outsiders are juxtaposed with the experiences of Scottish and Irish settlers in rural Wyoming County, West Virginia, a region now dominated by the coal industry.
Download or read book Hanover Milestones written by Hanover Area Historical Society and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second volume of Hanover, the trials, tribulations, and celebrations of the area are presented through extremely rare postcards. Among the events covered is the greatest test of the fortitude of the small town's residents: the August 21, 1915, tornado that caused enormous devastation and debris. Without the benefit of modern mechanized equipment, the community set out to clean up with a conviction to continue on with plans to celebrate Hanover's centennial only weeks later. Another milestone event occurred on June 14, 1932, when Hanover's residents celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Hanover Milestones also features scenes of industrial fires, celebrations marking the end of World War I, and the Hanover Fair.
