The second predominately Christian wing is Creation Care. This includes some leading evangelicals and is more theocentric. While still concerned with humanitarian concerns, Creation Care highlights portions of the Bible that teach the earth itself belongs to God and as such people have a responsibility to care for it, just as they care for each other. Fi nally, Witt discusses biocentric groups that are not rooted in the JudeoChristian tradition. These advocates see an inherent value in the earth not connected to humanity or any deity. While not opposed to religion, they utilize those ideas about the sacredness of earth and the interdependence of all things, which they enhance with scientific findings. The conclusion offers an assessment of the state of anti– MTR activism. He reminds readers that, despite the overlap in concern, there are notable differences that produce points of friction, “where activists made decisions on argument and tactics, accepting some and rejecting others” (197). Disagreements are rooted in differences of religion and location. Disputes arise between activists from Appalachia and those from outside, even those who share similar religious beliefs. These evaluations highlight the larger analy sis of religion and place. A master of the multiple historiographies involved, Witt recognizes the centrality of place and identity to the discussion of religion and mountaintop removal in Appalachia. His work is among the few that link religion and environmentalism. His firsthand experiences and interviews prove that such connections arise organically within local communities precisely because faith entails community and these par tic u lar communities are set within a unique environment. He understands the historical importance of both religion and mountains to Appalachians, but resists the temptation to oversimplify and generalize. Appalachians are diverse, as are their faiths, but the common thread among them is the mountains. That bond means that environmental policy in the region will always involve more than economics and politics. As Witt shows, it is the defining facets of life, such as faith and community, that continue to drive Appalachian activism in the twentyfirst century.

{"title":"For Their Own Cause: The 27th United States Colored Troops by Kelly D. Mezurek (review)","authors":"Zachery Cowsert","doi":"10.1353/WVH.2017.0017","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/WVH.2017.0017","url":null,"abstract":"about women’s sexuality and the ingredients of good character. The courtroom itself was largely the province of men, so their vision of women held sway,” explains Hall (17). The court’s assault on Hanson’s character will ring familiar to students of women’s history. “She put herself in the way of temptation,” argued the defense. “The law of nature is that the female cannot be forced without being greatly abused.” Her face was not bruised, her cloths were not torn or even dirty, and her “hair lay perfectly smooth.” Had she truly “hallooed” during the alleged attack, she would have been heard (59). The defense surmised that Mrs. Hanson had sexual relations with Deskins out of jealousy and revenge in response to her own husband’s infidelities. She only desired to save her reputation by the false charge of rape. Ultimately, it is Alexander Smyth’s closing argument to the jury that may surprise modern students. Standard histories of this era often emphasize the adjudication of rape cases as a means to address the legal grievances of husbands and the “property damage” suffered as a consequence of a wife’s sexual assault. Smyth, in contrast, sought justice for Sydney Hanson and all the victimized women she represented. “We have deprived them of liberty and property; let us at least maintain them the right of personal security,” he asserted (96). The acquittal of a man clearly guilty of this heinous crime, justified through the character assignation of Mrs. Hanson, risked the safety of all women. Smyth asked the jury if they were prepared to bear such a responsibility: “Rapes will be committed; and justice being denied, they will be concealed by the sufferers. The cruel ravishers will at some distant day boast of their victories” (97). In 1806, just as today, no woman must suffer in silence. The court ruled John Deskins guilty of rape and sentenced him to ten years in the Virginia state penitentiary. Overall, A Rape in the Early Republic edited by Randall Hall offers a multidimensional case study for students and scholars focusing on women’s history or legal history and wanting a closer study of the treatment of rape in the early nineteenth century.
