Excerpt from Geological Survey of Alabama: Report for the Years 1881 and 1882, Embracing an Account of the Agricultural Features of the StateIn the year 1880 I was requested by Dr. Eugene W. Hilgard, in charge of the Cotton Culture Reports of the Tenth Census of the United States, to prepare the Volumes on Alabama and Florida. The plan of these volumes, as drawn up by Dr. Hilgard, was somewhat comprehensive, embracing, in addition to the special report on Cotton Production, a gen eral discussion of the agricultural features, soils, etc., of the several cotton producing States, and as this plan covered substantially the ground contemplated in the State law above referred to, it seemed to me desirable to prepare the volume on Alabama with a view to using it as the basis of a State report.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
