About This Item
Knoxville Tennessee: University of Tennesee, 1994. First Edition. . Hardcover. Very Fine/Very Fine. VF/VF/1st ed. stated. This first book length examination of cultural change in the Georgia Pine Belt challenges the conventional view of this area as an unchanging ecomonic backwater by examining its postbellum evolution from a self-sufficient economy to one largely dependent upon a single commerical crop--cotton. The demise of forest products industries during the 1870s and 1880s created new economic opportunities but left the area depentdent upon a single industry that brought deforestation and the decline of the open-range system with a generation. Book and Jacket Condition are Very Fine; as new. 392pp. First edition so stated. Notes, bibliography, index. Black and white photos. Jacket covered with a removable mylar sleeve.
