West Virginia ahead of its time (Whitesville: high school, dating, telephone)

One of my high school classmates sent along the following...

---

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion, that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.



Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, in California an archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: ' California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.'



One week later, The Coal Valley News, a local newspaper in West Virginia , reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Whitesville, Boone County , West “By God” Virginia, Bubba Mitchell, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, West Virginia had already gone wireless.
