New Paths and Patterns of Appalachian Migration, 1975-1990.

Abstract

Appalachian migration has been a topic of interest and public policy debate for nearly a century. For the migrants themselves it has been a social reality for a much longer period. In the early twentieth century historian Carter G. Woodson (1916, 4) noted: was during the period between 1826 and 1840 that Cincinnati had to grapple with the problem of the immigrating Negroes and the poor whites from the uplands of Virginia and Kentucky. For the most part, however, nineteenth century internal migration in the U.S. Appalachian and otherwise was considered a normal function of the country's westward expansion, and little note was taken of it. It was not until the twentieth century that perceptions of Appalachian population dynamics, and migration in particular, began to change.
