Abstract/Description

The main goal of this study is to analyze the effects of the Confederate raid of 1862 on the lumber industry of West Florida. This study established a baseline for the lumber industry, which showed a robust and successful industry prior to the raid. After the Confederate raid, the industry recovered, but never regained the prominence it possessed in 1860. This study also examined the raid's impact on sawmills through terrestrial and maritime archaeological investigations at the Criglar,...
Show moreThe main goal of this study is to analyze the effects of the Confederate raid of 1862 on the lumber industry of West Florida. This study established a baseline for the lumber industry, which showed a robust and successful industry prior to the raid. After the Confederate raid, the industry recovered, but never regained the prominence it possessed in 1860. This study also examined the raid's impact on sawmills through terrestrial and maritime archaeological investigations at the Criglar, Batchelder, and Pooley Company sawmill; Pearce and Son Mill; and Hyer planing mill. A shovel test survey at the Hyer planing mill revealed an associated feature that displayed evidence of the Confederate raid. The two other sites did not produce any definitive archaeological evidence of the sawmills. Analysis of the three sawmill landscapes showed that the raid accelerated the industrial processes and adaptations at the sites.

The site, which is now the Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park, was the subject of a historical and archaeological investigation incorporating documentary evidence, metal detection survey, trench excavations, LiDAR, and firearms identification analysis.

Show moreThe Civil War Battle of Natural Bridge was fought within miles of Tallahassee, Florida, in March of 1865. The site, which is now the Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park, was the subject of a historical and archaeological investigation incorporating documentary evidence, metal detection survey, trench excavations, LiDAR, and firearms identification analysis. The survey was conducted with the help of a wide range of volunteers and community stakeholders including students, members of Florida State Park Service, the local archaeological society, and Civil War reenactors. The results from the survey are being utilized to provide an updated analysis of the conflict which demonstrates how the Confederate forces expertly utilized the landscape to their tactical advantage. Additionally, this project can be used as a guide for on-site interpretation or future research involving the recent acquisition of the remainder of the battlefield.

Abstract/Description
-
Skinner, born in New York, was employed in the lumbering industry in Michigan, Wisconsin and California, and ran a sawmill in Navada. In 1874, he inspected pine forests in Bagdad, Floridatown, and Ferry Pass, Florida. Between 1874 and 1905, he built a lumbering empire of over 100,000 acres of pinelands in Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties. This autobiography provides an eyewitness account of lumbering in West Florida and the yellow fever epidemics between 1874 and 1905.
