Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Heart of the Alleghenies: Historical and Descriptive In order to get a sort Of bird's - eye view of the district that shall fix its main features in our mind for reference when we come to speak in detail of things that are and things that were, let us first take a day-train from Harrisburg and go with it up to the mountain top, past Cresson, and down again on the other side. The road we follow is the chief artery Of the State of Pennsylvania, the channel through which flows the main current of its vast activity. But it is much more than a great local highway. It is also one Of the chief lines by which the East and the West join hands across the conti nent. The history Of this railroad in its first beginnings, as we shall trace them later on, is a curious record not only Of local enterprise but of early experiments in railroading as well. It is but fifty years since those experiments were begun, yet the first road over the Alleghenies has been superseded and done away with. It has, indeed, passed not only out Of use but almost out of mind. How many of the thousand daily passengers over the present track know that there was another steam-route - yes, . Two others that preceded it? Even the picturesque remains Of the pioneer road - does it seem strange to talk of remains in connection with anything so new as railroads, and of picturesqueness as a visible ele ment therein - are as nearly forgotten as their history, both alikebeing known to few but local antiquaries and the, summer-board ers Of the neighborhood, who are very generally from localities not far away.

Book excerpt: The bustling city of Elizabethton, Tennessee, located on the convergence of the Watauga and Doe Rivers, is the product of a long and rich history. For centuries its fertile ground and ample wildlife sustained the Cherokee Indians, who later leased and sold a vast amount of land to settlers in the mid-1700s. In 1772 these settlers formed the Watauga Association, becoming what Teddy Roosevelt called the first men of American birth to establish a free and independent community on the continent. The era of industrialization resulted in severalfactories and mills all along Elizabethtons rivers, creating a commercial paradise that continues to thrive today.

Download or read book The Allegheny Frontier written by Otis K. Rice and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 624 pages. 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.
