Took out large sections of History...unnecessary and out-of-place information. Article was far too cluttered. I agree with j, whomever wrote the history section, please do not rewrite it. This article is fine as it is now! -DA

NOTE TO WHOMEVER: PERHAPS they are just trying to improve the wordsmithing. I don't have time to do it, but someone desperately needs to edit this article for the typos, mispellings, and just plain bad writing. Sorry, i'm just calling it like i see it. Normally the Wiki people put a little notice at the top that says, in essence, "hey, this article's writing isn't quite up to snuff." I'm not sure why that hasn't been done in this case. j.

I would appericate it if someone would quit editing this page so that the true history could be seen. I had edited this page then someone keeps coming back and changing it. This is the second time...

The history section should not be as long. Perhaps under another article titled West Virginia Logging.

The article text reads as if it was copied directly from Cass promotional materials. It should be changed as per NPOV. 04:18, 18 December 2007 (UTC)MarkMascolino (talk)
