Historically accurate, detailed images of life in the Appalachian Mountains from the forming of the mountains until the 1840's," An Early Appalachian Coloring Book" presents not only European history, but African- and Native- Americans as well. While there is no story-line, the images are approximately chronological, with certain "characters" reappearing. As time progresses, the arrival of more settlers, technology and civilization is apparent in the images. While the book is weighted toward the southern Appalachians, the information is valid from Maine to Georgia.
