Book excerpt: Lumbermen and Log Sawyers examines the development of the north Florida lumber industry in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book explores the social consequences of industrialization to determine how the north Florida experience fits into the larger pattern of regional and southern industrial development. The terms "life and labor" describe the chain of events accompanying the growth of the industry during this period. The events include rapid improvements in technology, concentrated land ownership, the formation of company towns, and the creation of a permanent wage-earning population.
