Excerpt from A Handbook of Highland County and a Supplement to Pendleton and Highland History The original purpose of this volume was to furnish a descriptive and industrial write-up of Highland county. But the author's History of Highland has been out of print for several years. The History of Pendleton is not yet out of print, but he could not realize his intention of converting the remnant of the stock into a revised edition. This Handbook has therefore been made to serve the secondary purpose of bringing the two county histories down to date, particularly with reference to their share in the World War. The present book has not only a value in itself, but it imparts a new value to the Histories of Pendleton and Highland, as published in 1910 and 1911. The chapter on the World War consolidates in some degree the stories or the two counties which relate to that event. But those sections which seemingly relate wholly to Pendleton are of interest to readers in Highland, and vice versa. And even those topics which pertain to the Handbook as simply a Handbook of Highland County, are in very large degree applicable to Pendleton as well. The two counties are sister counties, in geography as well as in population. The additions and corrections to the History of Highland are in large part derived from marginal notes written by John M. Colaw on the pages of his private copy. Important contributions have been received also from Walter P. Campbell, the Rev. M. Ernest Hansel, and Mrs. Helen M. G. Paul, all three now living outside of their native county. Without such help as this the author could have done very little in that line. The roster of Pendleton soldiers in the World War is based upon the record preserved by H. M. Calhoun. His industry and plans in keeping in touch with the men called to the colors, and in preserving a record of the replies to his letters is an unusual display of thoughtfulness, and is highly commendable. In those instances where for one cause or another, there was neglect in acknowledging his inquiries, the fault does not rest with Mr. Calhoun. In Highland there is a similar acknowledgment to G. Lee Chew, who has taken great care to preserve a record for his own county. The author would also extend his thanks to all other persons who have actively aided the present undertaking.

Who uses "skeeter hawk," "snake doctor," and "dragonfly" to refer to the same insect? Who says "gum band" instead of "rubber band"? The answers can be found in the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (LAMSAS), the largest single survey of regional and social differences in spoken American English. It covers the region from New York state to northern Florida and from the coastline to the borders of Ohio and Kentucky. Through interviews with nearly twelve hundred people conducted during the 1930s and 1940s, the LAMSAS mapped regional variations in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation at a time when population movements were more limited than they are today, thus providing a unique look at the correspondence of language and settlement patterns. This handbook is an essential guide to the LAMSAS project, laying out its history and describing its scope and methodology. In addition, the handbook reveals biographical information about the informants and social histories of the communities in which they lived, including primary settlement areas of the original colonies. Dialectologists will rely on it for understanding the LAMSAS, and historians will find it valuable for its original historical research. Since much of the LAMSAS questionnaire concerns rural terms, the data collected from the interviews can pinpoint such language differences as those between areas of plantation and small-farm agriculture. For example, LAMSAS reveals that two waves of settlement through the Appalachians created two distinct speech types. Settlers coming into Georgia and other parts of the Upper South through the Shenandoah Valley and on to the western side of the mountain range had a Pennsylvania-influenced dialect, and were typically small farmers. Those who settled the Deep South in the rich lowlands and plateaus tended to be plantation farmers from Virginia and the Carolinas who retained the vocabulary and speech patterns of coastal areas. With these revealing findings, the LAMSAS represents a benchmark study of the English language, and this handbook is an indispensable guide to its riches.
