This section is on Populations:

The population of the regions is collectively
large and comparatively small. In the two hundred and
twenty-six counties that may be said to make up the
southern Appalachian region, the census enumerators
found in 1900 as many as 3,921,555 people. This total
exceeds the combined populations of the commonwealths
of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada,
Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and California. Yet this
large aggregate was scattered over so vast a territory
that the average to the square mile was only
thirty-eight, making the teeming mountains after all
an exceedingly sparsely settled part of the Union.
Collected in one body, the mountaineers of the
South would make one state almost the size of Ohio; or
one city atrifle larger than Greater New York; but the
13,305 square miles of Massachusetts an Connecticut
contain as many inhabitants as do the southern
Appalachians with their 101,880 square miles, an area
nearly eight times that of Massachusetts and
Connecticut.
