Book Description
West Virginia, the Mountain State, lies completely within the Appalachian Mountain system of peaks, knobs, hills, glades and valleys. In the state's east are parallel mountain ridges from the southwest to the northeast. On these ridges and in the gorges and valleys between them are nearly a million acres of the magnificent Monongahela National Forest. The purchase of this land began in 1915, and each day since, the "Mon" has become more of a natural treasure. It's wild and scenic expanse is enhanced with its eastern boundary adjoining the Jefferson and George Washington National Forests.
