Hillbilly Highway
When Steve Earle released his road song Hillbilly Highway in 1986, generations of internal migrants were familiar with the colloquialism describing the network of roads and highways leading them from, or returning them to, their traditional homes in the Mountain South. Beginning in the 1920s, rural Appalachians fled structural economic crises plaguing small farmers, timber workers, and coal miners. Alone or as families, they traveled in carpools,…
Wheeling's Polonia
Beginning in the late nineteenth century, the Upper Ohio Valley's thriving coal, rail, steel, and pottery industries attracted a multiethnic population of eastern and southern European immigrants. Poles, Hungarians, Italians, Slovaks, and Croatians joined a growing industrial proletariat, relegated to the most dangerous and unhealthy work and facing widespread xenophobia and discrimination. Wheeling, a commercial center in West Virginia's norther…
The Long Deep Grudge
Tony Gilpin deserves praise for this meticulously documented and tightly focused history of the United Farm Equipment Workers of America (Fe), one of the “communist-dominated” unions expelled by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (Cio) in 1949. Gilpin explains how, throughout its short existence (1938–1955), the Fe battled powerful forces shaping postdepression industrial relations. One adversary was their chief employer, the Chicago-based …

A Screening Measure for BPD
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a common psychiatric disorder that is often overlooked in treatment settings. This report describes the validation of a new self-report screening measure for DSM-IV BPD--the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD). Two hundred subjects with treatment histories whose ages ranged from 18 to 59 filled out the MSI-BPD. Each subject was then interviewed, blind to MSI-BPD result…
A History of Appalachia
A study of an American region, from the colonial era to the present. We will study the people and culture of the region in the context of local, national, and international historical processes that have affected the development and/or underdevelopment of Appalachia. We will focus on such issues as the use and control of land and resources in the region, popular perceptions of Appalachia and their impact on the actions of public and private agenc…
E. T. Weir, Employee Representation, and the Dimensions of Social Control
This article analyzes early New Deal-era anti-union strategies at Weirton Steel Company, a subsidiary of National Steel Corpora tion. After a massive Weirton Steel walkout for union recognition in 1933, National Steel chairman Ernest T. Weir moved to pre serve his autocratic control. One means he used was the Employee Representation Plan, one of hundreds of such plans formed by steel managers to circumvent the collective-bargaining provisions of …
The Americanization of West Virginia
Hennen explores West Virginia's integration into America's corporate political economy during and after World War I. Far from being isolated during America's transformation into a world power, West Virginia was squarely in the mainstream. The state's people and natural resources served crucial functions as producers and fuel for the postwar economy. Hennen examines a formative period in West Virginia's modern history that has been largely neglect…

The americanization of West Virginia
Hennen's interdisciplinary work examines a formative period in West Virginia's modern history that has been largely neglected beyond the traditional focus on the coal industry. Hennen looks at education, reform, and industrial relations in the state in the context of war mobilization, postwar instability, and national economic expansion. The First World War, he says, consolidated the dominant positions of professionals, business people, and polit…
