Just do a search on his name and you can download it as a free eBook. In fact, most of 18th and 19th century books about the history of the USA are free on the internet. I've probably read 25 books from that period since I retired.

Thanks to the OP for posting the article. It is a bit misleading to say that over half the state was grassland because he is including the great longleaf forest into that figure. It's just a matter of semantics, but I think most of us would call that a forest. But the Blackbelt was a very large area and everyone would call it a grassland.

I think that squirrel could have made his journey by treetop if he had picked his way carefully.

The article mentioned 15,000 years of forest management. I thought we only had evidence of humans in North America for 10,000 years. Has that number been revised?
