WEST VIRGINIA
AS THE name i'm
%Sks1M A plies, West Viz
N4 rs &, "a ginia was originally
GEf8HT Aa portion of Virginia,
n(HMESEta$S&5 the Old Dominion
EsSNSss5;sSJ Colony. While it's
N%~a~[ST history is naturally
%sEMps yoked up with that
of the Mother State, there are many
points in which the two sections of
virginia were divergent and it was
for this reason that West Virginia
finally became separate state.
The first white man who probably
penetrated the wilderness of this
Western region was John Laderer, a
German surgeon, who went on a tour
of exploration in 1869. In the same
year, La Sale sailed up the Ohio and
landed at several points in the present
state. There was little colonization
until 1882, when Scotch and Irish adj
venturers began to fill Western Vir-
glnia. They were encouraged but lit
tie, and, in fact, the King in 1888 de-
clared that this part of the colony was
Indian country and could not rightfully
be settled. Colonization continued,
however, and bitter warfare was waged
against the Indians and the French
who had come down from the North
In 1714 the battle of PIT. Pleasant was
fought, which was one Of the bloodiest
of Indian conflicts.
The backwoodsmen who settled in
the Western part of Virginia were en-
tirely different types of men from the
wealthy slave owners along the coast
JealOusies between the two sections
arose and the Western countries felt
great dissatisfaction at the way Vir-
ginia was governing them. The most
marked point of disagreement was
over the slavery question, and it was
because of this that, when Virginia
seeded from the Union in 1861 West
Virginia took matters in it's own hands.
Delegates met at Wheeling, drew up a
separate constitution, and declared
their independence. Their application
for admission into the Union was ac-
cepted by Lincoln, and in 1868 West
Virginia became the thirty-ffth state.
1t is often called the panhandle
State" on account of its shape. It's area
is PATIO square miles, and it has eight
presidential electors.
