Review title: A cut-and-paste history
Product review: The author, strangely for an expert, does not present a coherent vision of the history of the area. Little nuggets of information are strung along, as if he has cut-and-pasted this history together, without any real mastery of the subject. The pace is consequently choppy, as bits and pieces are seemingly added as they occur to him, without plan. The space allotted to each topic is equally random. It is possible that these problems have their roots in his straining to be seen as a revisionist historian, tidying up the history of Appalachia for the tastes and prejudices of 21st-century readers. The choppiness allows for suspicious omissions or digressions. This makes him appear to be an unreliable, uncertain source of information about the region. The editing makes the book seem even more unreliable. Quotations are not cited, and what sort of editor lets through the use of "of course" multiple times on a single page?
