Lumber Industry in Jasper, FL
Joe Bartolini <jbart@...>
Tonight my Public TV station broadcasted "Memory of a Large Christmas"
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian_Smith_%28author%29 The author, Lilian Smith grew up in Jasper FL where her father ran a turpentine mill and saw mill among other enterprises. For some reason he lost these businesses and relocated his large family to their summer retreat in the mountains near Clayton GA. Can anyone here provide some background on the lumber industry in Jasper, FL 1890 - 1915+. A quick Google search didn't turn up much, as with a search of the FL Photographic Collection http://ibistro.dos.state.fl.us/uhtbin/cgisirsi.exe/Y7ATdYNyp2/STA-FLA/13 1500002/18/X650/XSUBJECT/Turpentine+industry+and+trade+Buildings. (interesting search though). Merry Christmas Joe Joe Bartolini West Columbia, SC http://bartoliniville.us/scrr
