Wildlife of southern forests habitat & management (Chapter 3): Natural Resources-Into the 20th Century

Abstract

At the beginning of the 20th century descendants of the early European settlers who first colonized the coasts of Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia were established throughout the region. Most all of the native people had been displaced. Cotton was king. The mature forests were being eliminated. And wildlife populations had been seriously depleted by the burgeoning human population.
