Reviews

Southern Timberman should interest a variety of readers, including conservationists, students of business history, and historians of the post-Reconstruction South. It is a rewarding and enlightening book.
*Environmental History Review*

The physical aspects of the book, including the photographs, are excellent. The language is fresh, vivid, and convincing. It is a good book and true to our understanding of the cutting and rebuilding of the southern forest.
*Journal of Southern History*

Mayor does an excellent job of describing and analyzing the companies of William Buchanan and his successors and of relating their situation to the larger story of the southern forest products industry.
