| Zusammenfassung: | In 1880, ancient-growth forest still covered two-thirds of West Virginia, but by the 1920s lumbermen had denuded the entire region. Ronald Lewis explores the transformation in these mountain counties precipitated by deforestation. As the only state that lies entirely within the Appalachian region, West Virginia provides an ideal site for studying the broader social impact of deforestation in Appalachia, the South, and the eastern United States. Eventually, even ardent supporters of industrialization had reason to contemplate the consequences of unregulated exploitation. Once the timber was gone, the mills closed and the railroads pulled up their tracks leaving behind an environmental disaster and a new class of marginalized rural poor to confront the worst depression in American history. |

Lewis. Chapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, ©1998. 1 online resource (xv, 348 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 293-337) and index. In 1880, ancient-growth forest still covered two-thirds of West Virginia, but by the 1920s lumbermen had denuded the entire region. Ronald Lewis explores the transformation in these mountain counties precipitated by deforestation. As the only state that lies entirely within the Appalachian region, West Virginia provides an ideal site for studying the broader social impact of deforestation in Appalachia, the South, and the eastern United States. Eventually, even ardent supporters of industrialization had reason to contemplate the consequences of unregulated exploitation. Once the timber was gone, the mills closed and the railroads pulled up their tracks leaving behind an environmental disaster and a new class of marginalized rural poor to confront the worst depression in American history. The virgin forest and the backcounty economy -- The touch of capital: railroads, timber, and economic development of the backcounties -- Land, capital, and timber operations at the periphery -- Making capital secure: law and the industrial transformation of West Virginia -- Workers in the woods -- Ethnicity, exploitation, and social conflict -- Connecting the periphery: commercialization of the countryside -- "New men" versus "old men": political economy and the country seat wars -- The market revolution and the decline of agriculture -- If trees could cuss: environmental destruction and the beginnings of restoration.
