Mississippi harvest. |
| Резюме: |
In this classic work of Mississippi history, Nollie W. Hickman relates the felling of great. forests of longleaf pine in a southern state where lumbering became a mighty industry. Mississippi Harvest records the arduous transportation of logs to the mills, at first by. oxcart and water and later by rail. It details how the naval stores trade flourished. through the production of turpentine, pitch, and rosin and through the expansion of. exports, which furnished France with spars for sailing vessels. The book tracks the. impact of the Civil War on southern lumbering, the tragedy of denuded land. |
