Elk is West Virginia s longest river whose boundaries are entirely within the state. It forms on the western slopes of the Allegheny Mountains in Pocahontas County and flows one hundred and seventy two miles to the capital city of Charleston. In olden times, the first of several miles of Elk were known as Upper River, hence the title for this book. This book explores the renowned trout fishing on the head of Elk, the geologic marvel where the river goes underground in dry weather, the storied little village of Bergoo, the mountaineer known as Rimfire Hamrick, the wood chopping legends, the picturesque canyon settings and the river s final one hundred miles to its meeting with the Kanawha. Upper River is an adventure that will carry readers from a tiny rivulet on the Crooked Fork of Elk to the state capital.

The little book recounts the remarkable, although little-known, history of Charleston, South Carolina. It was written especially for those persons who want to learn that history in one or two easy sittings. From her earliest beginnings, Charleston has experienced the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. She has known extreme shame and extreme glory. She has been one of the world's most hated cities and one of its most beloved. She has been attacked by the militaries of four nations, including the United States, which put her under the longest siege in modern military history. A major earthquake almost destroyed her, massive hurricanes have battered her, monster fires have ripped through her streets, and the Civil War -- which she started and lost -- left her destitute and helpless as thousands of visitors danced on her grave. But today Charleston is considered one of America's jewels. Readers of major travel magazines consistently name Charleston the friendliest, most gracious, even Best City in the United States and one of the best in the world. This primer clearly answers the question; What IS it about Charleston?
