Appalachian History A River County on a Moving Front Russell County sat on the kind of landscape generals studied on maps. The Cumberland River bent like a great road of water along its southern edge. The county seat at Jamestown lay on the ridge road that linked Columbia and Albany.
Appalachian History In the 1860s there was no Lee County on the map. The confluence of the North, Middle, and South Forks of the Kentucky River was divided among Estill, Owsley, and Breathitt Counties, a remote corner of the Commonwealth where flatboats and narrow roads carried people and goods in and out of the hills.
Appalachian History A Courthouse Town On The Edge Of The Mountains In the early 1860s Powell County sat where the Bluegrass began to wrinkle into mountains. The Red River threaded past small farms, iron works, and timber land on its way toward the Kentucky River. Stanton, a modest crossroads town, had been chosen as county seat after Powell County was carved out of surrounding counties in 1852 and named for Governor Lazarus W. Powell.
Appalachian History Mt. Olivet did not yet have a county of its own when the Civil War came through on tired horses in June 1864.

On paper it belonged partly to Bracken, partly to Harrison, Mason, and Nicholas.
Appalachian History A border county on the Cumberland In the summer of 1863, Williamsburg was a small courthouse town on the Cumberland River, better known as Whitley Court House than as a battlefield.

Its southern edge touched the Tennessee line.

Der Franc-CFA steht im Zentrum der neokolonialen Beziehungen Frankreichs zu mehreren westafrikanischen Staaten. Kritiker:innen werfen der Währung vor, die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung der Region zu behindern und dadurch Flucht- und Migrationsbewegungen nach Europa zu begünstigen. Diese Kritik wird zunehmend von rechtspopulistischen Akteur:innen oft mit irreführenden Argumenten aufgegriffen.

This time last year, when we reflected on ROR’s milestones in 2024, one of the major highlights was the launch of version 2 of the ROR schema and API. Now, as we think back on 2025, where we were a year ago makes a nice bookend to one of the major highlights of the current year: last week’s sunset of version 1 of the ROR schema and API.
