An Analysis Of Population Changes In Eastern Kentucky 1970-2000, Gary C. Cox

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

Eastern Kentucky and Central Appalachia, in general, present an especially formidable challenge. Since the beginning of the 20th Century the economy of the region has been tied to one product, coal, …
