Abstract:

This is the first in a series of articles looking at the development and use of fertilizers in the southeast from 1840-1950. This installment looks at the introduction of gull manure, called guano, during the period of 1840-1890, when the use of manures was becoming very popular for use in the resuscitation of old fields and the prevention of land exhaustion.
