A history of mountain journalism
and an exploration into the American struggle for conservation of
natural resources, the story of Cal Price and his Pocahontas Times is, in and
of itself, a portrait of the human experience.
On January 10, 1940, America
listened as Gabriel Heatter introduced a very special guest on his radio
show, "We the People." Calvin W. Price, Editor of The Pocahontas
Times, was the perfect choice for a typical country editor. He let it be
known that he only had 3,000 subscribers, but added that he could call
everyone of them by their first name. To the people in Pocahontas
County, West Virginia, he was just "Cousin Cal." To many across
this country he was a true conservationist.
