Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Allegheny frontier, comprising the mountainous area of present-day West Virginia and bordering states, is studied here in a broad context of frontier history and national development. The region was significant in the great American westward movement, but Otis K. Rice seeks also to call attention to the impact of the frontier experience upon the later history of the Allegheny Highlands. He sees a relationship between its prolonged frontier experience and the problems of Appalachia in the twentieth century. Through an intensive study of the social, economic, and political developments in pioneer West Virginia, Rice shows that during the period 1730–1830 some of the most significant features of West Virginia life and thought were established. There also appeared evidences of arrested development, which contrasted sharply with the expansiveness, ebullience, and optimism commonly associated with the American frontier. In this period customs, manners, and folkways associated with the conquest of the wilderness to root and became characteristic of the mountainous region well into the twentieth century. During this pioneer period, problems also took root that continue to be associated with the region, such as poverty, poor infrastructure, lack of economic development, and problematic education. Since the West Virginia frontier played an important role in the westward thrust of migration through the Alleghenies, Rice also provides some account of the role of West Virginia in the French and Indian War, eighteenth-century land speculations, the Revolutionary War, and national events after the establishment of the federal government in 1789.

Book excerpt: Helvetia: A Swiss Village in the Hills of West Virginia explores the unique founding and development of a community nestled within the wilderness of Appalachia.

From ramp suppers to carnivals, traditional architecture, folk music, and cheese making, this book documents a living community by exploring the ethnic customs, farming practices, community organization, and language maintenance of Helvetia residents. Drawing upon a diverse body of resources such as Swiss and American archival documents and local oral accounts, this chronicledepicts the everyday social and economic life of this village during the past two centuries. Helvetia celebrates a small community where residents and visitors alike continue to practice a Swiss American culture that binds an international history to a local heritage. Long out of print, this reissued edition of the history of Helvetia contains a new introduction, a concise index, a bibliography, an appendix of foreign-born immigrants, and an exquisite photographic essay featuring archival images of a Swiss village still thriving within the isolated backcountry of central West Virginia.

This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Directory of Morgantown, West Virginia, 1901 Morgantown became a place of importance in north western Virginia before the Revolutionary war, and was a center for trade for the country miles in all directions. The trade, however, during the first half century of its existence was important only in comparison with other towns west of Laurel Hill. The volume of business transacted then, in comparison with the present, was very small. It consisted chiefly of dry goods, iron, salt, ginseng and furs. None of its great natural resources, which have since become such vast elements of wealth, had then been developed. In fact, no one then took any account of the goal which filled the hills on all-sides, or of the oil and gas which were destined to play such important parts in the future. The full mean ing of river transportation was not dreamed of, and the rail road was then unknown. The slow and uncertain traffic which was carried on by horses and wagons, and by peddlers with their packs on their backs, was the\ best the people had. Even under these disadvantages, Morgantown was a place of importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
