|
| In 2001 James E. Fickle published Mississippi Forests and Forestry (University Press of Mississippi for Mississippi Forestry Foundation), a detailed examination of the state's woodlands from prehistory until current times. This companion volume includes an impressive assortment of photographs not included in the 2001 publication. Gleaned from numerous sources—archives, museums, public libraries, university collections, individual and company collections, lumber industry periodicals, the Forest History Society, the Mississippi Forestry Commission, as well as the United States Forest Service, among others—Photographic History unfolds the saga of how Mississippi's vast pine and hardwood forests have been utilized. |
