The Hutsul Region and the Hand of Civilization

View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses the Hutsul region. A battle for influence over the Hutsul region took place under the Habsburg imperial policy between the Polish and the Ruthenian/Ukrainian. The territory fell within the East Galician districts of Kosów, Kołomyja, and Nadwórna. Additionally, the region is abundant with salt deposits, water containing minerals deemed curative, and metal ores. Despite going largely uncredited, Sofron Witwicki was conscious of his role in popularizing the Eastern Carpathians and his Hutsuls. The chapter expounds on the Polish ethnographic exhibition and the Ruthenian agricultural exhibition. The two dueling exhibitions showed Emperor Franz Joseph that the Poles put on the better show for the peoples of eastern Galicia.
