Great cola chapter. Once again, a little dense on the railroad and company facts, but got a great sense of the profit making ability of King Coal in the 1920s in S. Appalachia.

I really wish there existed a study of how exactly Appalachians lost their land. Missing that piece of the puzzle.

Really good halter on timber use in the mountains. Some small holes in resistance by Appalachians to “predatory” industries and migration patterns based on these industries.

Awesome intro to life in Southern Appalachia in general. The railroad bits are getting a bit long.
