Excerpt from Chestnut Oak in the Southern Appalachians In the' valley counties of Virginia, in Maryland, and in northeast ern West Virginia the chestnut oak is principally small second growth. The bodies of old timber are small, have been heavily culled, or are at a great distance from means of transportation. On account of the strong demand for both bark and small-sized timber in this region Second growth is usually cut as soon as it is large enough to be merchantable. Both lumbering and bark peeling have been im portant industries in this section for many years and the diameter limit of cutting is smaller than elsewhere.

Excerpt from The Southern Mountaineers The field of the American Church extends over our entire land. It includes city, town, village, and country, throughout the North, the South, the East, and the West. Every division of this wide field is intensely interesting to the loyal Christian. No other part of the field appeals to the heart with more romantic interest than does that included in the southern Appalachians. In this little book the story of the southern mountaineers is told by one who has been all his lifetime identified with them, and loves them, and has been their ready champion whenever occasion offered. The Board is glad to have the story so authoritatively and sympathetically presented to the Church at large. - First Edition, 1906.

With this stunning collection of images of the Southern Appalachians, James Valentine presents an enduring portrait of the region's unique natural character. His compelling photographs of ancient mountains, old-growth forests, rare plants, and powerful waterways reveal the Appalachians' rich scenic beauty, while Chris Bolgiano's interpretive text and captions tell the story of its natural history. Over four decades, Valentine has hiked hundreds of miles across mountainous parts of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia to photograph some of the last remnants of original forest. These scarce and scattered old-growth stands are the most biologically diverse temperate forests in the world. By sharing these remaining pristine wild places with us, Valentine and Bolgiano show that understanding these mountains and their extraordinary biodiversity is vital to maintaining the healthy environment that sustains all life. Featuring an introduction by the late, longtime conservationist Robert Zahner and a foreword by William Meadows, president of The Wilderness Society, this visually entrancing and verbally engaging book celebrates the vibrant life of Southern Appalachian forests.

Excerpt from Our Southern Highlanders: A Narrative of Adventure in the Southern Appalachians and a Study of Life Among the Mountaineers I have tried to give a true picture of life among the southern mountaineers, as I have found it during eighteen years of intimate as sociation with them. This book deals with the mass of the mountain people. It is not con cerned with the relatively few townsmen, and prosperous valley farmers, who owe to outside influences all that distinguishes them from their back-country kinsmen. The real mountaineers are the multitude of little farmers living up the branches and on the steep hillsides, away from the main-traveled roads, who have been shaped by their own environment. They are the ones who interest the reading public; and this is as it should be; for they are original, they are characters. No one book can give a complete survey of mountain life in all its aspects. Much must be left out. I have chosen to write about those features that seemed to me most picturesque. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
