O, MOUNTAINEERS! Noted (or Notorious) West Virginians Born-Lived-Died, by Danny Kuhn, is filled with true stories of historical figures such as "Stonewall" Jackson and John W. Davis, but also contemporary notables Jennifer Garner and Brad Paisley.
There is even an apple...and a horse. Many are household names; others, though influential, you will meet here for the first time. Some stories are inspirational, some disturbing, but all fascinating. Join the party, Mountaineers!
West Virginians, whether by birth, residence, or death, have reached the pinnacle of success in almost every field, including entertainment, business, science, the military, politics, and sports. They include a shoe salesman who "brought down" the father of the atomic bomb, two of Hollywood's biggest stars who came to play ball, a legendary stripper, one of Washington's spies, and a couple of the most famous criminals of the twentieth century.
DID YOU KNOW? West Virginians made history in 1863 when the western, mountainous counties of Virginia broke away to form their own state during the American Civil War, largely because they opposed the plantation economy and slavery.
