19 West Virginia
[ˊwestvǝrˊdʒɪnjǝ] Западная Виргиния, штат на юго-востоке США <от Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen (1533—1603) Елизавета I, «королева-девственница»>. Сокращение: WV. Прозвища: «горный штат» [*Mountain State], «штат-ручка сковороды» [*Panhandle State]. Житель штата: западновиргинец [West Virginian]. Столица: Чарлстон [*Charleston II]. Девиз: «Горцы всегда свободны» (лат. *‘Montani semper liberi’ — ‘Mountaineers are always free’). Песни: «Западная Виргиния, мой дом, любимый дом» [*‘West Virginia, My Home, My Sweet Home’], «Холмы Западной Виргинии» [*‘West Virginia Hills, The’], «Это моя Западная Виргиния» [*‘This is My West Virginia’]. Цветок: рододендрон [rhododendron]. Птица: кардинал [cardinal]. Дерево: сахарный клён [*sugar maple]. Животное: чёрный медведь [*black bear]. Площадь: 62341 кв. км (24,232 sq. mi.) — 41- е место. Население (1992): 1,812 млн. (35- е место). Крупнейшие города: Хантингтон [Huntington]. Экономика. Основные отрасли: машиностроение, добыча угля (3- е место в США), туризм. Основная продукция: машины, изделия из пластика и твёрдой древесины, металлоизделия, основные органические и неорганические химикаты, стекло, алюминий, сталь. Сельское хозяйство. Основные культуры: яблоки, персики, табак, кормовые травы, кукуруза, пшеница, овёс. Основная продукция: молоко, яйца. Животноводство (1991): скота — 520 тыс., свиней — 32 тыс., овец — 76 тыс., кур и цыплят — 1,2 млн. Лесное хозяйство: дуб, жёлтый тополь, орех-пекан, вишня. Полезные ископаемые: каменный уголь, природный газ, нефть. История. В числе первых исследователей были Джордж Вашингтон [*Washington, George] (1753) и Дэниэл Бун [*Boone, Daniel]. Территория стала частью Виргинии и часто выражала недовольство правлением, осуществляемым из восточной части штата. Когда Виргиния вышла из состава США в 1861, конвент в Уилинге [Wheeling Conventions] осудил этот акт и объявил о создании нового штата Канауха [Kanawha], в дальнейшем переименованного в Западную Виргинию; под этим именем он был принят в США в 1863. В 1882—96 гг. Западная Виргиния была ареной кровавой вражды кланов Хэтфилдов [Hatfields] из Западной Виргинии и Маккоев [McCoys] из Кентукки. Конец XIX — начало XX вв. ознаменовался ростом забастовочной борьбы шахтёров, многие их выступления жестоко подавлялись с применением военной силы. Достопримечательности: Национальный исторический парк Харперс-Ферри [*Harpers Ferry], сохраняющий тот вид, в каком он был в 1859, когда Джон Браун [*Brown, John] захватил арсенал, принадлежавший армии США; Научно-культурный центр [Science and Cultural Center] в Чарлстоне; бальнеологические курорты Уайтсульфур-Спрингс [White Sulphur Springs] и Беркли-Спрингс [Berkley Springs]; Национальный лес Мононгахела [Monongahela National Forest]; парки и леса штата; ловля форели, охота на дикую индейку, оленя и медведя; плавание на плотах по горным рекам [white water rafting]; горнолыжные спортивные базы; регата Стернуил [Sternwheel Regatta] в Чарлстоне; Лесной фестиваль «горного штата» [Mountain State Forest Festival]. Знаменитые уроженцы Западной Виргинии: Бак, Пёрл [*Buck, Pearl], писательница; Дэвис, Джон [Davis, John W.], юрист, политический деятель; Твердокаменный Джексон, Томас [*Jackson, Thomas ‘Stonewall’], генерал в армии южан; Вэнс, Сайрус [Vance, Cyrus], дипломат; Ийгер, Чарлз («Чак») [Yeager, Charles ‘Chuck’], военный лётчик. Ассоциации. Некогда один из беднейших штатов, куда ни глянь — нищета [poverty, poverty and poverty]; основной центр угольной промышленности, изрезанная гористая местность с разбросанными по ней шахтёрскими посёлками; крупный центр химической промышленности, где господствует компания «Юнион карбайд» [*Union Carbide], и быстро развивающегося туризмаСША.
