 | Live Oaking by Virginia S. Wood, Walter E. Channing
The USS Constitution and a host of other great American wooden ships were built from the live oak tree, a hardwood species (Quercus virginiana) unique to the southeastern coast of the United States and prized for its tensile strength and resistance to rot, as well as its naturally curved limbs. The industry that developed from the harvest of these trees, known as live oaking, is the focus of this book, which treats the relatively obscure subject in such an enthralling way that general readers as well as scholars will enjoy it. The author offers a palatable combination of political, social, and economic history that identifies the very real contributions that live oaking made to the development of the United States as a maritime power. First published in 1981 to critical acclaim, Live Oaking provides a fascinating account of life in the timber camps - often populated by New Englanders - that became a symbol of American diligence and travail.
