John Hebron Moore

4.9/5 (27638 ratings)

Description:In the agriculturally dominated antebellum South the lumber industry was of great importance, not only because of its financial impact but also because of its role in transportation and urban construction. Yet this area of the Southern economy has remained largely unexplored by historians.One reason for this is the relative scarcity of original records. Professor Moore's book is the outgrowth of a historical "find": the virtually complete correspondence and business records of a single company covering the period from 1829 to 1865. Indeed, the records upon which the study was based are almost unique in the historiography of antebellum Southern industry.In Andrew Brown and Cypress Lumbering in the Old Southwest the career of an important Southern industrialist is reclaimed from oblivion. While the author focuses attention on the Scottish immigrant and his Natchez sawmilling firm, he also examines the economics of wage and slave labor, successful merchandising by brown and his son along the lower Mississippi River and in New Orleans, and the evaluation of the cypress lumber industry from its origins in eighteenth-century Louisiana.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
