DROBNEY HE history of industry and labor in the Post-Civil War South for T many historians is a story of coal mining and textile manufac- turing. Both industries have generated hundreds of historical monographs and represent a very visible part of Southern labor history, when the South’s largest industry, lumbering, has been vir- tually ignored. Historian Edward Ayers has reminded us, however, that the lumber industry “captures the full scope of economic change in the New South, its limitations as well as its impact.“1 A few monographs, such as Nollie Hickman’s study of Mississippi and Robert Maxwell and Robert Baker, and Ruth Allen’s work on East Texas, have examined the lumber industry in the South, but for the most part historians have neglected the industry in the region. This is especially true for Florida despite its extraordinary impact on the state and the South. The history of lumbering in Florida reaches far back in time to the small water-powered sawmills operated in Spanish Florida, and stretches forward to the paper and pulp mills of the present day. No period captures the imagination more than the heyday of Flor- ida’s lumbering boom between 1880 and 1930. During this period, thousands of loggers toiled in the piney woods and cypress swamps of the state on any given day to supply the hundreds of mills with raw logs for finished lumber. By 1930, lumbermen had virtually razed the virgin forest, the same dense growth which originally cov- ered an estimated twenty-seven million acres. After only a few de- cades of frenzied cutting, it was estimated that only six million acres of virgin forest remained. A significant part of the history of the South’s lumber industry between 1880 and 1930 is the displacement of agrarian people, be- ginning with men and young boys who turned to seasonal work for modest wages, and culminating in families leaving the farm alto- Jeffrey Drobney is assistant professor of history at Youngstown State University. 1.

Workers who alter- nated between the family farm and seasonal work in sawmills or logging camps, gradually disappeared over the late 19th and early 20th centuries, replaced by men who became totally dependent upon the industry for their survival.
