A History of West Virginia

The West Virginia story stretches back to the mists of prehistory and forward to the day before yesterday.  During those many years, our land has been inhabited by the mysterious Mound Builders, by the Native Americans who followed them, and by the explorers, pioneers, slaves, and immigrants who contributed to the present population.Storyteller Anna Egan Smucker presents the history of the Mountain State as a lively tale of conflict and triumph, as West Virginians have stood up for themselves and the place they love.  The larger-than-life figures - John Henry, John Brown, Mother Jones, the Hatfields, Chief Logan and Stonewall Jackson, among others - who papulate our past are shown here as the fightful forebears of today's generation of Mountaineers.  Originally published as a reading text, this book has been used to help thousands of West Virginia adults learn to read.  Then it was discovered as a popular introduction to West Virginia's state history for readers of all ages.      80 pages.
