520    "In the late twentieth century, residents of the Blue 
       Ridge mountains in western North Carolina fiercely 
       resisted certain environmental efforts, even while 
       launching aggressive initiatives of their own. Kathryn 
       Newfont provides context for those events by examining the
       environmental history of this region over the course of 
       three hundred years, identifying what she calls commons 
       environmentalism--a cultural strain of conservation in 
       American history that has gone largely unexplored. Efforts
       in the 1970s to expand federal wilderness areas in the 
       Pisgah and Nantahala national forests generated strong 
       opposition. For many mountain residents the idea of 
       unspoiled wilderness seemed economically unsound, 
       historically dishonest, and elitist. Newfont shows that 
       local people's sense of commons environmentalism required 
       access to the forests that they viewed as semipublic 
       places for hunting, fishing, and working. Policies that 
       removed large tracts from use were perceived as 
       'enclosure' and resisted. Incorporating deep archival work
       and years of interviews and conversations with Appalachian
       residents, Blue Ridge Commons reveals a tradition of 
       people building robust forest protection movements on 
       their own terms."--Page 4 of cover.
