Download or read book Becoming Southern written by Christopher Morris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-07-22 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mississippi represented the Old South and all that it stood for--perhaps more so than any other state. Tracing its long histories of economic, social, and cultural evolution, Morris takes a close and richly detailed look at a representative Southern community: Jefferson Davis's Warren County, in the state's southwestern corner. Drawing on many wills, deeds, court records, and manuscript materials, he reveals the transformation of a loosely knit, typically Western community of pioneer homesteaders into a distinctly Southern society based on plantation agriculture, slavery, and a patriarchal social order. "This thoughtful, well-written study doubtless will be widely read and deservedly influential."--American Historical Review.
Download or read book History of Georgia Agriculture 1732 1860 written by James C. Bonner and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1964, A History of Georgia Agriculture describes the early land and labor systems in the state. Agriculture came to Georgia with the first settlers and was largely directed toward the economic self-sufficiency of the British Empire. James C. Bonner's portrayal of the colonial cattle industry is prescient of the later open-range West. He also clearly shows how shortages of horses and implements, poor plowing techniques, and a lack of skill in tool mechanics spawned the cotton-slaves-mules trilogy of antebellum agriculture, which in turn led to land exhaustion and eventual emigration. By the 1850s the general southern desire for economic independence promoted diversification and such scientific farming techniques as crop rotation, contour plowing, and fertilization. Planting of pasture forage to improve livestock and hold soil was advocated and the teaching of agriculture in public schools was promoted. Contemporary descriptions of individual farms and plantations are interspersed to give a picture of day to day farming. Bonner presents a picture of the average Southern farmer of 1850 which is neither that of a landless hireling nor of the traditional planter, but of a practical man trying to make a living.

Download or read book Sanctified Landscape written by David Schuyler and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hudson River Valley was the first iconic American landscape. Beginning as early as the 1820s, artists and writers found new ways of thinking about the human relationship with the natural world along the Hudson. Here, amid the most dramatic river and mountain scenery in the eastern United States, Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper created a distinctly American literature, grounded in folklore and history, that contributed to the emergence of a sense of place in the valley. Painters, led by Thomas Cole, founded the Hudson River School, widely recognized as the first truly national style of art. As the century advanced and as landscape and history became increasingly intertwined in the national consciousness, an aesthetic identity took shape in the region through literature, art, memory, and folklore—even gardens and domestic architecture. In Sanctified Landscape, David Schuyler recounts this story of America's idealization of the Hudson Valley during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Schuyler's story unfolds during a time of great change in American history. At the very moment when artists and writers were exploring the aesthetic potential of the Hudson Valley, the transportation revolution and the rise of industrial capitalism were transforming the region. The first generation of American tourists traveled from New York City to Cozzens Hotel and the Catskill Mountain House in search of the picturesque. Those who could afford to live some distance from jobs in the city built suburban homes or country estates. Given these momentous changes, it is not surprising that historic preservation emerged in the Hudson Valley: the first building in the United States preserved for its historic significance is Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh. Schuyler also finds the seeds of the modern environmental movement in the transformation of the Hudson Valley landscape.Richly illustrated and compellingly written, Sanctified Landscape makes for rewarding reading. Schuyler expertly ties local history to national developments, revealing why the Hudson River Valley was so important to nineteenth-century Americans—and why it is still beloved today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the last three centuries, the Green Swamp in southeastern North Carolina has served as home to many communities and industries. It is also home to tremendous biodiversity and rare species, including the highest concentration of insectivorous plants in the world and the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker." "The modern industrial incarnations of what have historically been two of the Lower Cape Fear's staple economic activities - forest industries and hog farming - have come under increased fire from environmentalist groups that decry the ongoing transformation of the area at the hands of large corporations. While communal values and practices at times mitigate the environmental and human ravages of capitalist economic development, the communities' cultural identities are nevertheless imagined, constructed, and maintained in ways that facilitate capitalist enterprise and direct the use and transformation of nature and community in accordance with the ideological premises of the capitalist worldview." "In this fascinating case study, Tycho de Boer highlights the complex relationship between the swamp, local inhabitants, and outside entrepreneurs as the community becomes aware of the competing goals of conservation and competition on the global market. Tracing the growth of agriculture and the turpentine and lumber industries from the mid-seventeenth century to the present, this work examines their impact, including the destruction of longleaf pine forests. In what at first appears to be counter-intuitive, this study also reveals how businesses in this region took a leading role in managing the environment. What emerges is an understanding of the uneasy balance between conservation and commerce."--BOOK JACKET.
