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
