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 of heavily gullied red hills--a landscape created by sulfur dioxide smoke from copper smelting and destructive logging practices. In Ducktown Smoke, Duncan Maysilles examines this environmental disaster, one of the worst the South has experienced, and its impact on environmental law and Appalachian conservation. 606 $aCopper mines and mining$xEnvironmental aspects$zTennessee$zDucktown Region 606 $aLiability for environmental damages$zAppalachian Region, Southern 606 $aLiability for environmental damages$zTennessee$zDucktown Region 607 $aGeorgia$vTrials, litigation, etc 610 $aDucktown Mining District 615 0$aCopper mines and mining$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aLiability for environmental damages 615 0$aLiability for environmental damages 676 $a333.76/513709768875 700 $aMaysilles$b Duncan$01575198 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789413103321 996 $aDucktown smoke$93851969 997 $aUNINA
