Title: Appalachia
Description: "Interweaving social, political, environmental, economic, and popular history, John Alexander Williams chronicles four and a half centuries of the Appalachian past. Along the way, he explores Appalachia's long-contested boundaries and the numerous, often contradictory images that have shaped perceptions of the region as both the essence of America and a place apart.".

"Throughout the book, a wide range of Appalachian voices enlivens the analysis and reminds us of the importance of story telling in the ways the people of Appalachia define themselves and their region."--BOOK JACKET.
