  • Landscape and History at the Headwaters of the Big Coal River
    Landscape and History at the Headwaters of the Big Coal River Valley An Overview By Mary Hufford Reading the Landscape: An Introduction “This whole valley’s full of history.” -- Elsie Rich, Jarrold’s Valley From the air today, as one flies westward across West Virginia, the mountains appear to crest in long, undulating waves, giving way beyond the Allegheny Front to the deeply crenulated mass of the coal-bearing Allegheny plateaus. The sandstone ridges of Cherry Pond, Kayford, Guyandotte, and Coal River mountains where the headwaters of southern West Virginia’s Big Coal River rise are the spectacular effect of millions of years of erosion. Here, water cutting a downward path through shale etched thousands of winding hollows and deep valleys into the unglaciated tablelands of the plateaus. Archeologists have recovered evidence of human activity in the mountains only from the past 12,000 years, a tiny period in the region’s ecological development. Over the eons it took to transform an ancient tableland into today’s mountains and valleys, a highly differentiated forest evolved. Known among ecologists as the mixed mesophytic forest, it is the biologically richest temperate-zone hardwood system in the world. And running in ribbons beneath the fertile humus that anchors the mixed mesophytic are seams of coal, the fossilized legacy of an ancient tropical forest, submerged and compressed during the Paleozoic era beneath an inland sea.1 Many of the world’s mythologies explain landforms as the legacies of struggles among giants, time out of mind. Legend accounts for the Giant’s Causeway, a geological formation off the coast of Northern Ireland, as the remains of an ancient bridge that giants made between Ireland and Scotland.

  • Treat Or Repeat
    Treat or Repeat A State Survey of Serious Mental Illness, Major Crimes and Community Treatment Full report released in September 2017 TreatmentAdvocacyCenter.org/treat-or-repeat How a Graduate of Duke University Killed, Was Treated and Then Killed Again Written by E. Fuller Torrey Duke University’s class of 1978 included several individuals who have achieved significant public recognition. They include an ambassador, a leader in fashion merchandising, a nationally syndicated columnist, an editor of The Wall Street Journal and a woman who murdered two people over a seven-year period. The last has not been featured in the alumni association’s Duke Magazine, despite its intent to “address the issues of the day.” This is an unfortunate omission, because the failure to treat individuals who have serious mental illness is an issue of the current day. Moreover, Jeanette Harper illustrates the complexity of this issue. Jeanette was the second of four children, born in 1956 to parents who were high school math and science teachers in Beckley, West Virginia. Her father also sold Christmas trees for the holidays. Jeanette liked ballet and swimming, was a cheerleader and student council presi- dent, and excelled in school. In later years, she was remembered by schoolmates as having been “beautiful, quiet but nice, a bookworm type.” Jeanette recalled periods of depression during high school, and her mother said that she had been somewhat of “a loner with few close friends.” In the fall of 1974, Jeanette entered Duke University. She ini- “You’d better give me the electric tially majored in biomedical engineering but found the math- chair or I’m going to do it again.” ematics difficult and switched to social psychology.

EBY, JR. Annotated by DORIS C. WILES AND EUGENIA B. ARANA N M AY , 1824, S ECOND L IEUTENANT Alfred Beckley of the I Fourth Artillery, United States Army, reported for duty at Fort Marion, St. Augustine, Florida, where he remained until April, 1826. He was green and untried - a twenty-two year old West Pointer who had graduated ninth in the Class of 1823- and except for his aversion to “French brandy” and “Old Sledge,” he was perhaps a typical example of the officer-gentleman that was the backbone of the peacetime army of that time. Born in Washington City in 1802, Beckley could recall as guests in his home such dignitaries as Joel Barlow, George Clinton, and Thom- as Jefferson, all of them political friends of his father, John James Beckley, one of the founders of the Jeffersonian Republican [Democratic] party.
