“a cultural region in the eastern United States that stretches from the Southern Tier of New York state to northern Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. As of 2005, the region was home to approximately 23 million people. Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants.” [source] this blog is kept by Leah May Click Here to Inquire and/or Give Feedback Click Here to Submit some cool things like photos, art, videos, stories, ANYTHING!
