Book Synopsis Tapping the Pines by : Robert B. Outland III
Download or read book Tapping the Pines written by Robert B. Outland III and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2004-12 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraction of raw turpentine and tar from the southern longleaf pine -- along with the manufacture of derivative products such as spirits of turpentine and rosin -- constitutes what was once the largest industry in North Carolina and one of the most important in the South: naval stores production. In a pathbreaking study that seamlessly weaves together business, environmental, labor, and social history, Robert B. Outland III offers the first complete account of this sizable though little-understood sector of the southern economy. Outland traces the South's naval stores industry from its colonial origins to the mid-twentieth century, when it was supplanted by the rising chemicals industry. A horror for workers and a scourge to the Southeast's pine forests, the methods and consequences of this expansive enterprise remained virtually unchanged for more than two centuries. An important part of the timber products trade, naval stores were originally used primarily in shipbuilding and maintenance. Over the course of the nineteenth century, these products came to be used in myriad ways -- including in the manufacture of paint thinner, soap, and a widely popular lamp oil -- and demand soared. In response, North Carolina producers enlarged their operations and expanded throughout the Southeast, especially into Georgia and Florida, but the short-term economic development they initiated ultimately contributed to long-term underdevelopment. Outland vividly describes the primitive harvest and production methods that eventually destroyed the very trees the trade relied upon, forcing operators to relocate every few years. He introduces the many different people involved in the industry, from the wealthy owner to the powerless worker, and explores the reliance on forced labor -- slavery before the Civil War and afterwards debt peonage and convict leasing. He demonstrates how the isolated forest environment created harsh working and living conditions, making the life of a turpentine hand and his family exceedingly difficult. With an exacting attention to detail and exhaustive research, Outland offers not only the first definitive history of the naval stores industry but also a fresh interpretation of the socioeconomic development of the piney woods South. Tapping the Pines is an essential volume for anyone interested in the region.

Book Synopsis People of the Pines by : Bob Birdsall
Download or read book People of the Pines written by Bob Birdsall and published by Plexus Pub. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature photographer Bob Birdsall celebrates the people and traditions of the Pine Barrens of New Jersey in this handsome coffee-table book. Picking up where John McPhee's The Pine Barrens left off, Birdsall's perceptive lens and an engaging text illumine more than two dozen individuals and their ways of life—many of which are fast vanishing. From “Piney” hunter-gatherers who still live off the land, to hardworking baymen and farmers, to volunteers and public servants, artisans and entrepreneurs, scientists, conservationists, and educators, these men and women typify the bold and creative spirit of the region. With roots in the pines going back 200 years or more, many are deeply committed to preserving tradition, while others are relative newcomers who came to visit and stayed to fight for the future of a wilderness at risk. What the “People of the Pines” share in common—as evidenced by Bob Birdsall's intimate and inspiring portraits—is a boundless passion for this unique and storied land.

Book excerpt: Legends are somewhat deceitful. Leaving no room for sequels. Books never written. Stories never told. Until now. It is the late 1800s, and Paul Cunningham is about to establish himself as one of the most iconic American folklore figures of all time by logging his way through the northern United States. What he doesn't realize is the ruinous cost of his conquest. The Man in the Pines is the reimagined life story of the famous American folk legend, Paul Bunyan. It is a tale of demi-god strength, love lost, hubris, and destruction. It is a story of conservation and, hopefully, redemption. It is the life of Paul Bunyan you've never heard before.

What she did not count on was his rugged grand-nephew and a startlingly handsome and attentive young cowboy, both of whom show great interest in her, nor how the mysteries of the past can affect and endanger the present day. Once she discovers the truth, is it too late for her to save her own life?
Download or read book Tar Heels written by Kent Wrench and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Carolina acquired the nickname, “the Tar Heel State” due to its relationship with tar, pitch and turpentine. The occupation was considered a demeaning occupation by the early colonies; we continued to be viewed negatively throughout the antebellum period. The longleaf pine belt extended from eastern North Carolina to east Texas. The tall straight longleaf trees stirred the spirits of the Native Americans and early settlers alike. If we could view this forest we too would fall under its spell of wonder and reverence. The products of the longleaf forest were known as “naval stores.” The wooden hull shipbuilding industry of Europe depended on pitch, tar and timber in the construction of their huge fleets of war and merchant ships. England and much of Europe had devastated their timber resources. England turned its focus toward the colonies and the colony of North Carolina had a most abundant supply of naval stores; with a ready market in Europe, it became our cash crop. The vast quantities of this resource made the lives of our fathers much easier. They built homes, split rails for fences, heated homes, cooked meals and read by light of its flame. The cradle, the coffin and lastly the grave markers were all fashioned from the heartwood of the longleaf pine. This volume, with many images that have almost disappeared from our world will give insight to this past lifestyle of our ancestors. The pine forest had been considered to have no value except for the tar, turpentine, rosin, and lumber which it produced. A man could do as he pleased with the pine trees and neither his conscience, the voice of his neighbors, nor the law of the state could say him nay. As a result, the old growth virgin longleaf pine forest was devastated, but the nickname “Tar Heel” had taken deep roots.
Book Synopsis Whispering Pines by : Jason Schneider
Download or read book Whispering Pines written by Jason Schneider and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing the first comprehensive history of Canada’s songwriting legacy, this guide traces a distinctly Canadian musical identity from the 1930s to the end of the 1970s. The discussion shows how Canadian musicians have always struggled to create work that reflects their own environment while simultaneously connecting with mass audiences in other countries, particularly the United States. While nearly all songwriters who successfully crossed this divide did so by immersing themselves in the American and British forms of blues, folk, country, and rock 'n' roll, this guide reveals that Canadian sensibilities were never far beneath the surface. Canadian innovators featured include The Band, Ian & Sylvia, Hank Snow, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, and superstars Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. Lively anecdotes and interviews round out the history, but the emphasis is always on the essential music—how and where it originated and its impact on the artists' subsequent work and the wider musical world.

Download or read book Cabin in the Pines. . . written by Robert A. Busch and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DiBiasi family thought that their only problem was to resolve the ultimate ownership of the cabin in Munds Park, Arizona when the parents pass away. The five adult siblings are frustrated about how their parents are trying to settle the issue. That turns out to be the least of the familys problems. Complications arise as one of the in-laws is shot dead, and soon thereafter two dead bodies are uncovered by workers repairing sewer lines near the Coconino National Forest. The lawyer for Emil and Rosemary DiBiasi, Jake Jacoby, proves that he has some interests that are far outside of the law. Millie, a waitress at the Lone Pine Restaurant in Munds Park gives an assist to Detectives Orsen Carter and Wes Mitzer as they explore possible connections of some customers to the crimes. Sleuthing activity spreads to areas of Mesa, Phoenix, and Tempe when it is found that there is a relationship between the two separate crimes, even though they occurred 140 miles apart and little Lake Odell gives up an important clue. A little forest squirrel is an important character in the mystery.
