The Lumberman's Frontier: Three Centuries of Land Use, Society, and Change in America's Forests

摘要

In the Lumberman's Frontier, Thomas Cox explores how individuals conquered nature and created conditions for a lumberman's frontier to emerge in places where trees served as the primary draw for settlers and capital. Cox traces the development of this frontier across time and place from colonial New England to New York, Pennsylvania, the Great Lakes states, the Gulf South, and the West.
