The original plans were drawn by Colonel Joseph Totten. A violent hurricane in 1846 destroyed most of the fort’s temporary work buildings and supplies, but construction was quickly resumed. Crafts- men for the brick work were imported from Germany and Ireland. Laborers were local slaves whose owners were paid $1.00 a day for their services. This is a view of the fort as drawn by a member of the garrison. It ap- peared in Harpers Weekly, March 2, 1861. Between 1898 and 1905, deciding that the fortress would be less vulnerable if not so tall, the structure was deliberately torn down to one story.

  • 2,000 Trees a Day: Work and Life in the American Naval Stores Industry, 1877 to 1940 by Catherine Kim Gyllerstrom a Dissertatio
    2,000 Trees a Day: Work and Life in the American Naval Stores Industry, 1877 to 1940 by Catherine Kim Gyllerstrom A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 13, 2014 Keywords: Naval Stores, Turpentine, African American, Labor, Convict Lease, Debt Peonage Copyright 2014 by Catherine Kim Gyllerstrom Approved by Jennifer Brooks, Chair, Professor of History Ruth Crocker, Professor of History Angela Lakwete, Professor of History Tiffany Sippial, Professor of History Abstract This project explores the lives of nineteenth and early twentieth century naval stores workers in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. After the Civil War, turpentine operators faced a high demand for their product, limited capital to embark on new operations, and an uncertain labor supply. Therefore, these men resorted to deceitful labor recruitment tactics to entice free workers to their camps. In addition, operators also supplemented their work force with convict labor. The preliminary focus of this dissertation is the experience—nature of work, work culture, and daily life—of turpentine employees. Previous historians, with the exception of Robert Outland, have dismissed turpentine harvesting as a makeshift operation on the periphery of civilization. In turn, this assessment has led to the misconception that turpentine workers were wild and violent frontiersmen, who rarely formed social bonds, idolized outlaws, and ascribed to a rough and tumble way of life. This work seeks to restore the reputation of naval stores laborers and contends that these men—both African American and white, both free and captive—shared a similar work culture to other industrial workers and established and supported families within the camps.

  • Longleaf Pine Forest Overview Longleaf Pine Is Also Known As Long Needle, Long Straw, Southern Yellow, Hard, Pitch and Georgia Pine Among Other Names
    Longleaf Pine Forest Overview Longleaf pine is also known as long needle, long straw, southern yellow, hard, pitch and Georgia pine among other names. The natural range of longleaf pine extends from southeastern Virginia to east Texas in a belt approximately 150 miles wide adjacent to the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. It dips as far south as central Florida and widens northward into west central Georgia and east central Alabama. It occupies portions of three physiographic provinces: the Southern Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Appalachian foothills. Longleaf pine-dominated forests can prosper on a variety of soil types, moisture regimes, geological formations, and topographic features across the wide geographic range of the species - in short, they grow almost anywhere. The tree's species name (Pinus palustris) means "of the marsh." Yet longleaf today is found mostly on dry upland areas, as the moist fertile sites were the first to be cleared for farming. Longleaf-The Virgin Forest The virgin forest offers excellent opportunities for studying the life-histories of trees. .... Several investigations of the life history of the longleaf pine, including observations under virgin forest conditions, have been made within recent years. There is, however, a practical value in pursuing still further the study of this tree. The longleaf pine is commercially of the very first importance. It is extensively distributed throughout one of the best timber- producing sections of the United States and is very well adapted to systematic forest management. Within recent years new and improved methods of exploitation have been managed with too little regard for the future and the supplies are quickly melting away.

  • Naval Stores History, Dr
    Highlighting Naval Stores History, Dr. Jan Davidson Wilmington postcard, 1909, Gift of Laura Howell Norden Schorr Naval Stores were the lifeblood of colonial and antebellum North Carolina, and they were an important part of the economy into the late 19th century. The Cape Fear region was the center of the industry. Naval Stores production helped shape the region’s population, by encouraging the dependence on enslaved people’s labor, and by creating a need for a town with merchants to market naval stores. They were a good business in a region where trees and water dominated the landscape, labor was scarce, and the land was poor. In the 18th century, North Carolina produced 70 percent of the tar, more than 50% of the turpentine, and 20% of the pitch that was exported from North America. According to one 19th century account, “Nearly the whole trade of the town [Wilmington] is derived from the produce of the pine forests. The Wharves display immense quantities of pitch and resin barrels, and stills for the manufacture of turpentine are numerous.”1This made Wilmington a rather dangerous place to live. According to one scholar, “In Wilmington, twenty distillery fires occurred from 1842 to 1853, and many fires destroyed wharves and other places where turpentine was stored. Turpentine fires sometimes incinerated an entire community. Anyone who ran a still was living a dangerous life and posed a threat to the community.”2 1 Robert Russell North America: Its Agriculture and Climate, (Edinburgh: Robert and Black, 1857), p. 158 2 Lawrence S. Earley, Looking for Longleaf: The Fall and Rise of An American Forest, (University of North Carolina Press, 2004) pp, 105-106 1 What Are Naval Stores? There are four main products that fall under the heading “naval stores:” tar, pitch, spirits of turpentine, and rosin.

Sicilia 1 The WinthropGroup Considerthe following"snapshots" in the life of the HerculesPowder Co. of Wilmington,Delaware: In 1919Hercules' total sales were $20.5 million. More than99 percent of theserevenues came from a singleline of business:commercial explosives, includinggunpowder, smokeless powder, blasting powder, and, especially, dynamite. These productswere sold to mine and quarry operators, constructionfirms, and the generalhardware trade, and were, for the most part,indistinguishable from products offered by leading competitors. Hercules managedits assetsthrough a singleoperating department. The company maintaineda small "ExperimentalStation" on the groundsof one of its dynamiteplants to servethe researchand testing needs of the entirecompany. This stationoperated on an annualbudget of about$180,000, a total of less thanone percent of sales.The companyheld four patents and had ten patent applicationspending. Two decadeslater Hercules'sales exceeded $41 million. The company nowproduced more than two hundredproducts ranging from explosivesto a varietyof cellulosicand rosin-based compounds, paper chemicals, insecticides, andsynthetic resins. Most of theseproducts were highly specialized; indeed, mostwere developedwith particularmarket niches in mind and usuallyin close cooperationwith key customers.
