West Virginia: Its Farms and Forests, Mines and Oil-Wells
celebrates the state of West Virginia. Originally published in 1865
as a series of studies on mineral resources, observations on
agriculture, and interviews with businessmen, West Virginia details
the industrial statistics, terrain, and population of a state
during its infancy. With no record of natural wealth or reported
transactions of agriculture or geography prior to this overview,
West Virginia sparked the curiosity of non-residents, enticing
investment and settlement through descriptions of abundant natural
resources and an agreeable industrial condition. With an
introduction by Kenneth R. Bailey, this new edition reminds us of
the state's alluring beginning and rich, yet often exploited
development.
