Download or read book Tennessee s Great Copper Basin written by Harriet Frye and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1843, the discovery of copper in Tennessee's far southeastern corner sparked a transformation in the isolated area known to geologists as the Ducktown Basin. By 1854, the first shafts had been sunk, and 28 mining companies had been incorporated for the purpose of exploring the possible wealth of the Ducktown district. For generations to come, the families of mine captains from Cornwall, executives and engineers from the industrial North, emigrants from Europe and the Middle East, miners drawn by the promise of jobs, and farmers who had bought land for pennies an acre in the 1830s would sit side by side in the same small churches and send their children to the same small schools. In the process, they would create a kind of culture that few small Southern communities had ever seen. This book, illustrated with photographs gathered from the scrapbooks and attics of their descendants, tells their story.

Vegetation was similar at both grass-stations. The broomsedge did not form a sod. Grass clumps covered about 60 percent of the ground surface, but during the period of maximum growth the foliage shaded about 90 percent of the ground. As the leaves dried out the amount of surface. Shade was reduced to as low as 70 percent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
