Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Economic Botany of Alabama, Vol. 1: Geographical Report Including Descriptions of the Natural Divisions of the State, Their Forests and Forest Industries, With Quantitative Analyses and Statistical Tables
Dr. Harper, the author of this report, has been in the South most of the time since 1887, and in the last ten years has studied the forest conditions in all the south eastern states, particularly Georgia, Florida and Ala ama, having been employed on Geological Surveys of each of these three states. His work in Alabama, begin ning in 1905, has covered something over two years all told, and has extended over practically all parts of the State. Since 1908 he has revisited about half of the counties and has taken over three hundred photographs of Alabama scenery, without cost to the Survey. Forty eight of these photographs, together with some older ones belonging to the Survey collection, are used to illus trate the present report, and many others, together with a great mass of field notes already in hand, will be avail able for future reports.
