Ducktown Smoke: The Fight over One of the South's Greatest Environmental Disasters
Duncan Maysilles
It is hard to make a desert in a place that receives sixty inches of rain each year. But after decades of copper mining, all that remained of the old hardwood forests in the Ducktown Mining District of the Southern Appalachian Mountains was a fifty-square mile barren expanse. Duncan Maysilles examines this environmental disaster, and its impact on environmental law and Appalachian conservation.
