About this title

Review:

The nine historical essays in this little volume edited by James X. Corgan have done much to rectify this lacuna [in knowledge about early geologists in the United States] by mapping out the history of geological inquiry in the southeast, as well as defining areas of fruitful scholarship and terrae incognitae.
—Florida Historical Quarterly

[The Geological Sciences in the Antebellum South] will be a useful book for those specially interested in the history of the Antebellum South.
