FIRE AND BRIMSTONE History of melting Louisiana's Sulphur ~ Davis/Detro ~HC 1992

Description: FIRE AND BRIMSTONE:The History of Melting Louisiana's Sulphurby Ronald W. Davis and Randall A. Detro 1992Louisiana Geological Survey, Baton Rouge From Foreword:"The story of the development of sulphur production in Louisiana and its impact on the development of the state during the twentieth century is one of the more interesting examples of an industry inextricably tied to a region. "The sulphur industry is unlike any other. It combines elements of the mining, petroleum, and chemical industries, and its customers are predominantly in the world of fertilizer and agriculture. It is also a very concentrated industry, with few participants and limited locations, most notably southern Louisiana in the United States. "How the industry came to be what it is, and how the mines were developed here in Louisiana, are the subjects of this book. Those who desire and understanding of factors that have had major impacts on the development of south Louisiana, as well as those whose main interest is to know more about the sulphur industry, will find this book to be a unique modern opportunity. No reference or other work on this subject has been published in over 30 years." Condition : Hardcover book in dust jacket. Light rubbing to edges of dust jacket and corners of cover.
