Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Journalism (Communication).
The life of Archibald W. Campbell Jr. intertwined with the press, the formation of a new state, the growth of West Virginia, and vast changes to the United States over a dynamic half century. Campbell’s life story provides a prism through which is revealed a spectrum of social, as well as personal meaning during the period from 1855 to 1899. The journey sheds new light on the role of the press in West Virginia’s formation and early development and uncovers human virtues and imperfections of a man who was integral to the improbable realization of statehood at a time when the region was critical to the country’s survival.
