The Last Forest: Tales of the Allegheny Woods

Go back in time to the 1880s with the unspoiled West Virginia wilderness. The author's collection of stories begins with the forest primeval, before the railroads and loggers disturbed the tranquility of centuries. It ends fifty years later, with the last virgin forest cut over and despoiled. Much of the books action takes place along the Cranberry and Williams rivers, an area now protected as a federally-designated wilderness area.
