  1. List of Appalachian dinosaurs

    Orphan date October 2010 unreferenced date September 2010 This is a list of dinosaurs whose remains have been recovered from Appalachia Mesozoic Appalachia . During the Late Cretaceous period, the Western Interior Seaway divided the continent of North America into two landmasses one in the west named Laramidia and Appalachia in the east. Since they were separated from each other, the dinosaur faunas on each of them were very different. For example, nodosaurs were common in Appalachia, but they were rare in Laramidia, and there were only specialized forms, such as Edmontonia and Panoplosaurus . This is an example of how isolated faunas develop differently.

  1. River of Earth

    Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date November 2008 River of Earth is a novel, published in 1940 in literature 1940 , by Appalachia Appalachian author James Still . Plot synopsis The book focuses on three years in the life of an Appalachian family as told from the viewpoint of a young boy. The boy watches as his parents are pulled between their meager but independent life as farmers, and the uncertain promise of prosperity offered by the Appalachia Economy mining camps in Appalachia. Publication The book was published in 1940, within a year of The Grapes of Wrath , and by the same publisher. The cabin that appears on the cover of the newest edition was located in Knott County, Kentucky , where Still lived for about 50 years.... Criticism Many issues arise from a discussion of the differences and similarities between River of Earth and Grapes of Wrath. Critic Dean Cadle notes that these are the only books chronicling the demoralizing Depression years Steinbeck s novel about the dust bowl 1929 crash depression era, while Still is writing about traumas that span the existence of mountain people in America. Similarly, Ted Olson suggests the work relies on the theme of working class families vs. socio economic political systems. Douglas Reichert Powell claims that national epics are about the inevitability of displacement and nomadism. Place is then reduced to being stopped, giving up, or resting while River of Earth is concerned with even the possibility of place .
