The Industrialist and the Mountaineer

- The Eastham-Thompson Fued and the Struggle for West Virginia's Timber Frontier

About The Industrialist and the Mountaineer

In 1897 a small landholder named Robert Eastham shot and killed timber magnate Frank Thompson in Tucker County, West Virginia, leading to a sensational trial that highlighted a clash between local traditions and modernizing forces. Ronald L. Lewis's book uses this largely forgotten episode as a window into contests over political, environmental, and legal change in turn-of-the-century Appalachia.
