About this title

From the Back Cover:

An Environmental History.Here is the story of the long interaction between humans, land, and climate in the American South. It is a tale of exploitation and erosion, of destruction, disease, and defeat, but also of the search for knowledge and wisdom. It is a story whose villains were also its victims and sometimes its heroes.
