Описание: Between 1880 and 1922, the coal fields of southern West Virginia witnessed two bloody and protracted strikes, the formation of two competing unions, and the largest armed conflict in American labor history—a week-long battle between 20,000 coal miners and 5,000 state police, deputy sheriffs, and mine guards. These events resulted in an untold number of deaths, indictments of over 550 coal miners for insurrection and treason, and four declarations of martial law. Corbin argues that these violent events were collective and militant acts of aggression interconnected and conditioned by decades of oppression. His study goes a long way toward breaking down the old stereotypes of Appalachian and coal mining culture. This edition contains a new preface and afterword by author David A. Corbin.

Explore the haunting imagery of Abandoned West Virginia and see a world most will never realize. West Virginia grips serious history, and its former life will leave an imprint on one's soul, as well as force meditations about discontented spirits lurking inside some of its forsaken palaces of misfortune. Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and West Virginia State Penitentiary hold tales of too many tragic scenes played out behind bolted doors and removed from public view. Lake Shawnee Amusement Park still retains silent rusted rides as monuments to its raw past. Harpers Ferry bellows Civil War chronicles with every step on its cobblestone streets. Peek at the pages of derelict homes and wonder about the abandoned memories of its former occupants. We live in a hyper-structured world and faithfully adhere to repetitive patterns of life. Our inner explorer, however, constricts with excessive order, and we often view our environment but do not see what is around us. Step into the unfamiliar and discover the legends and lore of West Virginia, and perhaps fathom that some restless spirits might still prowl within their forlorn domains.

Описание: The Tidewater region of Virginia contains some of the oldest cities in the country. Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown, as well as many outlying communities, all inhabit this marshy coastal area. Like other regions that have survived the passage of time, these regions contain a treasure trove of forgotten curiosities. In Abandoned Eastern Virginia, let author Linda Cassada guide you to the region's most captivating of abandoned places. Journey down backcountry roads, across fields of waist-high grass, and through dense underbrush. Venture down dirt lanes to discover homes--once grand and full of life--that were mysteriously abandoned. Prepare to stumble upon discarded machinery and objects and to catch a glimpse of places, covered with dust and infested by insects, which have been untouched by man for decades. In silence and desolation, these places sit. Only the buzzing of bees and the occasional chirp of a bird can be heard as these abandoned curiosities slowly return to the earth. You will appreciate the beauty of nature's silent and thorough destruction, feel the loneliness and sadness of these hidden wonders, and no doubt wonder how these once-cherished possessions and structures came to be so utterly forgotten
