This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Hampshire County, West Virginia, From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Hampshire county, the oldest in West Virginia, was formed in 1754. It then included nearly allthe valley of the South branch, and its limits westward were not defined.. The present county of Mineral and'a portion of Morgan were then in Hampshire. In 1785 Hardy county, inclu'ding the present territory of Grant and part of Pendleton, was taken from Hampshire. In 1820 Morgan county was cre ated, taking part of its territory; and in 1866 Mineral was formed from Hampshire. Thus the old county was re duced to its present limits. In 1784'its area was two thousand eight hundred square miles, with about fourteen thousand population. Its area is now six hundred and thirty square miles with about thirteen thousand popala tion. In writing the present history no labor or expense has been spared. The aim has constantly been to present a faithful narrative of events, beginning with the earliest explorations and settlements and leading down to the present time. In order to present occurrences in their proper sequence and relation, the work has been divided into three parts. The first considers the county of Hamp shire as one in a group of counties forming the state. Many features of history cannot be adequately Considered if restricted to a single county because they concern the whole state. Part I. Of this book, therefore, contains a' synopsis of the history of West Virginia, thereby laying a broad foundation. On which to construct the purely local history of the county. Part II. Contains the county his tory. Part III. Deals with family history. Each of these parts is complete and could stand alone but the three are so related that they form one work, the state history being.

Download or read book Handbook of the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States written by William A. Kretzschmar and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-09-15 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who uses "skeeter hawk," "snake doctor," and "dragonfly" to refer to the same insect? Who says "gum band" instead of "rubber band"? The answers can be found in the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (LAMSAS), the largest single survey of regional and social differences in spoken American English. It covers the region from New York state to northern Florida and from the coastline to the borders of Ohio and Kentucky. Through interviews with nearly twelve hundred people conducted during the 1930s and 1940s, the LAMSAS mapped regional variations in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation at a time when population movements were more limited than they are today, thus providing a unique look at the correspondence of language and settlement patterns. This handbook is an essential guide to the LAMSAS project, laying out its history and describing its scope and methodology. In addition, the handbook reveals biographical information about the informants and social histories of the communities in which they lived, including primary settlement areas of the original colonies. Dialectologists will rely on it for understanding the LAMSAS, and historians will find it valuable for its original historical research. Since much of the LAMSAS questionnaire concerns rural terms, the data collected from the interviews can pinpoint such language differences as those between areas of plantation and small-farm agriculture. For example, LAMSAS reveals that two waves of settlement through the Appalachians created two distinct speech types. Settlers coming into Georgia and other parts of the Upper South through the Shenandoah Valley and on to the western side of the mountain range had a Pennsylvania-influenced dialect, and were typically small farmers. Those who settled the Deep South in the rich lowlands and plateaus tended to be plantation farmers from Virginia and the Carolinas who retained the vocabulary and speech patterns of coastal areas. With these revealing findings, the LAMSAS represents a benchmark study of the English language, and this handbook is an indispensable guide to its riches.
