A Matter of Faith: Snake Handling in Appalachia

Guidelines:
Using Turabian as a guide, provide full citations for every source that you quote, paraphrase, or make reference to in your text. Aim
for 20 – 25 double-spaced pages. Be sure to number each page, and provide title and your name at the top of the first page. Include bibliography.
The paper is intended to give a background history on the practice. But it’s main focus is to look at how snake handling is still practiced today despite modernization. Looking through a cultural lens is the main way in which I hoped to explore the subject. Specially wanted to focus on how West Virginia remains the only state to legally allow the practice. I am including some documents that will explain my topic and prospectus. Also, I have 10 sources already cited that I would like to include. Other sources are welcomed.
