Lost in transition : removing, resettling, and renewing Appalachia / edited by Aaron D. Purcell.

Purcell, Aaron D., 1972- (editor.).

Summary:

"Volume editor Aaron D. Purcell presents this thematic and chronological exploration of twentieth-century removal and resettlement projects across southern Appalachia. The work's seven case studies, addressing public land removal actions in Virginia, Kentucky, the Carolinas, and Tennessee from the 1930s through the 1960s, reveal confrontations between past and present, federal agencies and citizens, and original accounts and contemporary interpretations. The result is a critical analysis of fact, mythology, and storytelling that illustrates the important role of place in southern Appalachian history"-- Provided by publisher.
