The Lumberman's Frontier

Three Centuries of Land Use, Society, and Change in America's Forests

Beschreibung

Thomas Cox has reconstructed a groundbreaking history that stands apart from all previous studies of American forests. Drawing on work in social and economic history, as well as a wealth of historical data on forest industries and individuals, this book puts individual actors at centre stage, allowing the points of view of the workers and lumbermen to emerge.
