Well written book, drags in places but provides the reader with well documented histories of West Virginia. I just wish one of these writers would pay a little more attention to the northern half of the state. Over all I would recommend reading this book if you are interested in West Virginia.

In his clear, eminently readable style, Williams organizes the tangled strands of West Virginia's past around a few dramatic events--the battle of Point Pleasant, John Brown's insurrection in Harper's Ferry, the Paint Creek labor movement, the Hawk's Nest and Buffalo Creek disasters, and more. Williams uses these pivotal events as introductions to the larger issues of statehood, Civil War, unionism, and industrialization. Along the way, Williams conveys a true feel for the lives of common West Virginians, the personalities of the state's memorable characters, and the powerful influence of the land itself on its own history. John Alexander Williams's West Virginia: A History is widely considered one of the finest books ever written about the state. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
