Publisher's Synopsis
Tennessee: Its Agricultural and Mineral Wealth is a book written by Joseph Buckner Killebrew and published in 1876. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of Tennessee's natural resources, including its agricultural and mineral wealth. Killebrew begins by discussing the state's geography and climate, which he argues are well-suited for a variety of crops and livestock. He then goes on to describe the different types of agriculture practiced in Tennessee, including cotton, tobacco, wheat, and corn. Killebrew also covers the state's livestock industry, including cattle, sheep, and hogs. In addition to agriculture, Killebrew devotes a significant portion of the book to Tennessee's mineral wealth. He discusses the state's coal, iron, and copper deposits, as well as its limestone and marble quarries. Killebrew also provides information on the state's manufacturing industry, which he argues has the potential to grow significantly with the proper investment and infrastructure. Throughout the book, Killebrew emphasizes the importance of Tennessee's natural resources to the state's economy and encourages investment in the state's agricultural and mineral industries. He also provides practical advice for farmers and miners, including tips on crop rotation, soil management, and mining techniques. Overall, Tennessee: Its Agricultural and Mineral Wealth is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and economy of Tennessee, particularly in the late 19th century.With An Appendix, Showing The Extent, Value And Accessibility Of Its Ores, With Analyses Of The Same.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
