PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Read the excerpt from the preface from The life and adventures of Wilburn Waters: the famous hunter and trapper of White Top Mountain: embracing early history of southwestern Virginia and think about how Charles B. Coale, the author, went about getting the information for his book. This book, except that portion of it illustrating the life and adventures of Wilburn Waters, the great hermit hunter and trapper, comprises a series of articles written for a weekly newspaper, partly for pastime, and partly to preserve for the use of the future historian a few facts connected with the early settlement of Southwestern Virginia, and which otherwise might have been lost. These facts, together with attempted descriptions of various localities, and all that the book contains, have the merit at least of being true. Being thus hastily thrown together, without revision or systematic arrangement, the author's only apology is, that it reappears in this form at the urgent solicitation of a great number of persons who read the articles as they appeared in the Abingdon Virginian, and who thought them worthy of preservation.
Why does Coale want to preserve the history of his area?
1.to compile his many newspaper articles into one compact book
2.to persuade more people to move to the area because of its interesting history
3.to make money from book sales, as well as from his newspaper
4.for professional historians who want to write about the history of Virginia

Marian recently made the decision to try to re-wallpaper her own kitchen—which was a mistake given her personality! to compound the mistake, she selected a complex wallpaper pattern that included flowers and trees. each time she put one strip of paper on the wall, she became increasingly upset if there was not a perfect match from the pattern of one strip to the next. if one flower was off by as much as one-tenth of an inch, she would tear down the strip, remove the excess paste, and try again with the next strip. over eight hours after she started this job, she has only succeeded at putting up six strips of wallpaper, which covered about 10 percent of the room in which she was working. marian may suffer from personality disorder.
