Abstract

I am investigating the environmental effects of the logging industry on the Batesville community; more specifically the effects of the logging industry on the Soque River. By unveiling the environmental effects of the logging industry on the Southern Appalachians and the Soque River in Batesville, I am adding a piece of Southern Appalachian history that has not been told. Furthermore, I am applying my findings of the Batesville community to other regional mountain communities.
