Even in the seventeenth century, when the French Huguenot developer Charles Rochefort promoted a colony he called"Apalache" in the Georgia uplands, and even before, when the high country be­ hind the Apalache Indians of northern Florida appeared on maps as the " Apalachean Mountains," the definition of these mountains has been inexact. Modem scholars even today often approach the region having in mind different areas within the eastern mountains of the United States. The region's principal geographic study presents a useful review of the many designations of Appalachia used within the past century, but concludes by appropriating within"Appala­ chia" vast non-mountain areas, including the Southern Piedmont. On the other hand, there are those who reserve as Appalachian only those areas of the Southern Appalachians that are" the real moun­ tains." In Horace Kephart's view, this area included only the Smokies and the Unakas along the Tennessee-North Carolina border. And the historian Ralph Mann has recently been at considerable pains to exclude from Appalachia the Valley of Virginia, the Tennessee Valley, as well as the Piedmont. James Still, perhaps the region's premier poet, while admitting that Appalachia is a "somewhat mythical region," insists that "the heart of it [is] in the hills of East­ ern Kentucky." The Appalachia discussed in this book will be quite inclusive, extending to those portions of Appalachia including all of the prov­ inces of the Southern Appalachians-the Blue Ridge, the Ridge and Valley section, and the Cumberland-Allegheny Highlands. In fact, this narrative will encompass much of Appalachian Pennsylvania during the period before 1820, when western Pennsylvania's history was closely tied to that of Virginia. After the War of 1812, Pennsylvania's story drifted away from the more southern story due to different experiences with slavery as well as the massive immigra­ tion into Pennsylvania from southern and eastern Europe. James Still has referred to the "myth of Appalachia." In fact, con- PHYSIOGRAPHIC SUBREGIONS Introduction ix siderable scholarly literature has emerged in recent years claiming that Appalachia, especially as related to the people who live within its perceived boundaries, is really an invention of certain writers during the late nineteenth century. Since the appearance of Henry D. Shapiro's Appalachia on Our Mind in 1978, probably most scholars of the region have accepted the view that the notion of "Appalachia" was really an invention of northern writers, who perceived of a "pe­ culiar people" with particular stereotypical characteristics. Shapiro'S study should be viewed as an intellectual historian's study of the growing awareness of Appalachia that developed among certain mainline American intellectuals. Shapiro's notion that a par­ ticular picture emerged in the minds of northern, literate Americans seems quite clear. But to conclude that Appalachia existed only in this northern, literate mind-thus a myth agreed upon by these writ­ ers-seems to me an overly Platonic conclusion. The overwhelming evidence from contemporary observers-teachers who worked with the region's youth, as well as those Appalachians who have left a record of the overwhelmingly rural society that existed before 1930- all this seems to indicate that a unique and distinctive people existed in the region. This book will be clearly influenced by five basic themes or in­ terpretations. The first is the belief that Appalachia represents a sig­ nificant and distinct region within the larger American society. Appalachia is not merely a figment of a reformist, mainline imagina­ tion in the nineteenth century. It is true that the term" Appalachian" was applied especially to the folk of the Southern Appalachian area by missionaries and writers prior to 1920. But in fact a sense of sepa­ rateness has been a historic reality for many years, for most of those in the region, whether they called themselves "backwoodsmen" or "Cohees" in the antebellum period, or saw themselves as "moun­ taineers" or "Appalachians" in more modem times. A second theme will be the emergence of a regional economy largely dependent upon outside sources of cash, and the concomi­ tant loss of economic control of the region's resources as develop­ ment took place. This has led many scholars of the region to see Appalachia as a mineral colony of industrial America. Indeed, Ap­ palachian coal and other fossil fuels have fired the engine of Ameri­ can industry from the earliest days of industrial development. Other scholars have shown how Appalachia became an exploited periphery in the development of world capitalism that has spread since the fifteenth century. Clearly this colonial notion is a view that x A History of Appalachia must be taken seriously in any narrative of the Appalachian experi­ ence. But the Appalachian experience has been even more complex than a colonial interpretation can encompass. There are at least three other themes that significantly inform the Appalachian experience. One is the remarkable persistence in the region of what can be termed a "yeomanesque mentality" or attitude-essentially an ideology of agriculture that approaches farming as a largely self-sustaining ac­ tivity. In this view, land was seen as a resource that provided for the family; it was not a commodity to be bought or sold. Such an approach to farming can provide for family sustenance in a well­ watered area such as Appalachia, but it can never lead to much wealth and comfort. Clearly, yeomanesque self-sufficiency existed for most American farmers before about 1820. But as transportation and technology have developed, an increasing number of farmers have come to produce for local and national markets. In the more remote mountain regions of the Appalachian South, however, yeoman-style agriculture has persisted rather remarkably until World War II and after. Another unusual Appalachian characteristic that will enlighten this narrative is the strong and continuing presence of wilderness. Early in the Euro-American settlement of Appalachia, this wilder­ ness was seen as a massive, seemingly inexhaustible area full of wild animals and Indians. Some traders and mountain men found this wilderness-dominated region challenging, but most Euro-Americans saw the wilderness as something to be overcome. Even before trans­ portation technology penetrated parts of the region, first the Indian societies, then the yeomanesque, Euro-American settlers, claimed parts of the wilderness for farming. As time went on, this wilderness receded, so that today there are many who fear that civilization may have already gone too far in replacing this matchless Appalachian wilderness. Air and water pol­ lution are already well advanced in many areas, yet there are still areas of the Appalachian wilderness that can hide an Eric Rudolph, a suspected terrorist in the late 1990s and skilled survivalist, who can­ not be found in western North Carolina's dense forests.

  • Appalachia, Democracy, and Cultural Equity by Dudley Cocke
    This article was originally published in 1993 in the book, "Voices from the Battlefront: Achieving Cultural Equity," edited by Marta Moreno Vega and Cheryll Y. Green; a Caribbean Cultural Center Book; Africa World Press, Inc. The article is based on presentations given by Dudley Cocke in 1989, 1990, and 1991 at a series of Cultural Diversity Based on Cultural Grounding conferences and follow-up meetings. Appalachia, Democracy, and Cultural Equity by Dudley Cocke A joke from the Depression goes: Two Black men are standing in a government breadline; one turns to the other, “How you making it?” The other looks up the line, “White folks still in the lead.” Although central Appalachia’s population is 98 percent white, the region joins the South Bronx, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and the Mississippi Delta at the bottom of the barrel in United States per capita income and college-educated adults. Two out of five students who make it to high school drop out before graduating, which is the worst dropout rate in the nation. Forty-two percent of the region’s adults are functionally illiterate. In eastern Kentucky’s Letcher County, half the children are classified as economically deprived, and almost a third of the area’s households exist on less than $10,000 a year. What’s the story here? Why are these white people doing so poorly? Part of the answer lies in the beginnings of the nation. 1 In the ascendancy of antidemocratic ideas such as those expressed by Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists were buried some of the seeds of Appalachia’s poverty.

During the decade from 1989–1998, NASA used two types of launch systems, one consisting of several families of expendable launch vehicles (ELV) and the second consisting of the world’s only partially reusable launch system—the Space Shuttle. A significant challenge NASA faced during the decade was the development of technologies needed to design and implement a new reusable launch system that would prove less expensive than the Shuttle. Although some attempts seemed promising, none succeeded. This chapter addresses most subjects relating to access to space and space transportation. It discusses and describes ELVs, the Space Shuttle in its launch vehicle function, and NASA’s attempts to develop new launch systems. Tables relating to each launch vehicle’s characteristics are included. The other functions of the Space Shuttle—as a scientific laboratory, staging area for repair missions, and a prime element of the Space Station program—are discussed in the next chapter, Human Spaceflight. This chapter also provides a brief review of launch systems in the past decade, an overview of policy relating to launch systems, a summary of the management of NASA’s launch systems programs, and tables of funding data. The Last Decade Reviewed (1979–1988) From 1979 through 1988, NASA used families of ELVs that had seen service during the previous decade.

  • ADVENTURES in the BIBLE BELT (The Charleston Gazette
    ADVENTURES IN THE BIBLE BELT (The Charleston Gazette - 12/7/93) (reprinted in Fascinating West Virginia) By James A. Haught For many years, I was the Gazette's religion reporter and, believe me, I met some amazing denizens of Appalachia's Bible Belt. Does anyone remember Clarence "Tiz" Jones, the evangelist-burglar? Jones had been a West Virginia champion amateur boxer in his youth, but succumbed to booze and evil companions, and spent a hitch in state prison. Then he was converted and became a popular Nazarene revivalist. He roved the state, drawing big crowds, with many coming forward to be saved. But police noticed a pattern: In towns where Jones preached, burglaries happened. Eventually, officers charged him with a break-in. This caused a backlash among churches. Followers said Satan and his agents were framing the preacher. The Rev. John Hancock, a former Daily Mail reporter turned Nazarene pastor, led a "Justice for Tiz Jones" committee. Protest marches were held. Then Jones was nabbed red-handed in another burglary, and his guilt was clear. He went back to prison. Another spectacular West Virginia minister was "Dr." Paul Collett, a faith- healer who claimed he could resurrect the dead - if they hadn't been embalmed. Collett set up a big tent in Charleston and drew multitudes, including many in wheelchairs and on crutches. The healer said he had revived a corpse during a previous stop at Kenova. He urged believers to bring him bodies of loved ones, before embalming. Collett moved his show into the old Ferguson Theater and broadcast over Charleston radio stations.

  • Overview of Race and Crime, We Must First Set the Parameters of the Discussion, Which Include Relevant Definitions and the Scope of Our Review
    Overview CHAPTER 1 of Race and Crime Because skin color is socially constructed, it can also be reconstructed. Thus, when the descendants of the European immigrants began to move up economically and socially, their skins apparently began to look lighter to the whites who had come to America before them. When enough of these descendants became visibly middle class, their skin was seen as fully white. The biological skin color of the second and third generations had not changed, but it was socially blanched or whitened. —Herbert J. Gans (2005) t a time when the United States is more diverse than ever, with the minority popula- tion topping 100 million (one in every three U.S. residents; U.S. Census Bureau, 2010), the notion of race seems to permeate almost every facet of American life. A Certainly, one of the more highly charged aspects of the race dialogue relates to crime. Before embarking on an overview of race and crime, we must first set the parameters of the discussion, which include relevant definitions and the scope of our review. When speaking of race, it is always important to remind readers of the history of the concept and some current definitions. The idea of race originated 5,000 years ago in India, but it was also prevalent among the Chinese, Egyptians, and Jews (Gossett, 1963). Although François Bernier (1625–1688) is usually credited with first classifying humans into distinct races, Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778) invented the first system of categorizing plants and humans. It was, however, Johan Frederich Blumenbach (1752–1840) who developed the first taxonomy of race.

  • Bridging the Digital Divide in Rural Appalachia: Internet Usage in the Mountains Jacob J
    Informing Science InSITE - “Where Parallels Intersect” June 2003 Bridging the Digital Divide in Rural Appalachia: Internet Usage in the Mountains Jacob J. Podber, Ph.D. Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL, USA [email protected] Abstract This project looks at Internet usage within the Melungeon community of Appalachia. Although much has been written on the coal mining communities of Appalachia and on ethnicity within the region, there has been little written on electronic media usage by Appalachian communities, most notably the Melun- geons. The Melungeons are a group who settled in the Appalachian Mountains as early as 1492, of apparent Mediterranean descent. Considered by some to be tri-racial isolates, to a certain extent, Melungeons have been culturally constructed, and largely self-identified. According to the founder of a popular Me- lungeon Web site, the Internet has proven an effective tool in uncovering some of the mysteries and folklore surrounding the Melungeon community. This Web site receives more than 21,000 hits a month from Melungeons or others interested in the group. The Melungeon community, triggered by recent books, films, and video documentaries, has begun to use the Internet to trace their genealogy. Through the use of oral history interviews, this study examines how Melungeons in Appalachia use the Internet to connect to others within their community and to the world at large. Keywords : Internet, media, digital divide, Appalachia, rural, oral history, ethnography, sociology, com- munity Introduction In Rod Carveth and Susan Kretchmer’s paper “The Digital Divide in Western Europe,” (presented at the 2002 International Summer Conference on Communication and Technology) the authors examined how age, income and gender were predictors of the digital divide in Western Europe.
