Opis

Few reference works are as valuable to both scholars and non-scholars as a historical atlas. Therefore, "The Historical Atlas of West Virginia" will be an important title for libraries, schools, and every West Virginian who wants to understand how historical forces are mapped onto the state's terrain. This atlas also shows how the distribution of natural resources intersects with various means of distribution. Frank Riddel's "The Historical Atlas of West Virginia" is copiously illustrated with maps, tables, and charts depicting everything from geological deposits and strata that have fed the state's industries to the settlement patterns of the immigrants who settled in West Virginia. Using federal and state statistics, it also includes revelations from the national census figures since 1790.
