Published from 2006 to 2014, the Journal of Backcountry Studies was a refereed, open access scholarly journal focused on the eighteenth and early nineteenth century history of the Southern Backcountry - the rural corridor that stretches from southern Pennsylvania to Augusta, Georgia. During the colonial era, that region extended in a great arc from southeastern Pennsylvania to the interior and southeastern corner of Georgia. Following the Revolution it expanded along westward migration routes toward the Northwest Territory, eastern Kentucky, east Tennessee, and northern Alabama.
The journal’s constituency included academics and non-academic students of local history; schools, colleges, universities, libraries, archives, and churches. Technical support was provided by the University Libraries at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The Journal of Backcountry Studies was founded with support from the North Carolina Humanities Council.
