Description:Excerpt from West Virginia Geological Survey: Lewis and Gilmer Counties To His Excellency, Hon. Henry D. Hatfield, Governor of West Virginia, and President of the West Virginia Geological Survey Commission: Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith the Detailed Report and the Topographic and Economic Maps covering the Counties of Lewis and Gilmer. This important Report has been prepared by Assistant Geologist David B. Reger who has for several years been associated with and trained by Assistant Ray V. Hennen in the best methods of geologic work. The Report and Economic Map speak for themselves as to the high character of the geologic results attained by Mr. Reger in covering these two counties with his first separate Report for the State. The Soil Report and Map of Lewis and Gilmer have been completed in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Soils, and are now in preparation by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This Soil Report, however, can not be issued for probably a year or more in the future, and it was deemed best not to withhold the State's Geologic Report from publication to await the former's appearance, but to distribute the same when it does appear to all who have received or purchased copies of the State's Geologic Report on these two counties. The State Survey has now perfected arrangements with the Public Printer of the United States by which West Virginia can procure a separate edition of 2,500 copies of the Soil Reports and Maps covering the same areas as our geologic reports at a price considerably under what it would cost the State to republish the same as was formerly done. This policy was adopted when our geologic work got ahead of the Government's cooperative Soil work, and will be continued with future publications, since there are now 6 counties (Barbour, Braxton and Clay, and Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan) whose geologic studies have been completed, and upon which the Reports and geologic maps are under preparation, but which have not yet been taken up for Soil study by the U. S. Bureau of Soils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
