Early 20th-century writers focused on sensational aspects, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region\u2019s inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence. The story as depicted in this collection begins in the colonial era, describing the bloody warfare as migrants from Europe and their American-born offspring fought and eventually displaced Appalachia\u2019s Native American inhabitants. It depicts the evolution of a farm- and forest-society, its divided and unhappy fate during the Civil War and the emergence of a new industrial order as railroads, towns and mining industries penetrated into the mountains. Diaries, journals and narratives of explorers, emigrants, military men, Native Americans and travelers are complemented by accounts of the development of farming and mining communities, family histories and folklore.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/info-e1433982826316.jpg\" alt=\"info\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Library Guides<\/h1>\n<p><a style=\"color: #2248d3;\" href=\"https:\/\/libguides.lib.miamioh.edu\/appstudies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Appalachian Studies LibGuide<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subject-Related Resources America: History and Life Academic Search Complete JSTOR Other Helpful Resources SocINDEX Business Source Complete Mountain People: Life and Culture in Appalachia Library Guides Appalachian Studies LibGuide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":113,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-46","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3018,"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46\/revisions\/3018"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ham.miamioh.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
