Abstract
Of all the commercially significant communities along the Old South's gulf coast, Pensacola was most dependent upon lumber for its prosperity. Although it failed to develop into a great cotton port, Pensacola found that an expanding lumber industry offered a reliable export commodity upon which to base a steady if unspectacular rate of growth. Favorably situated near rich timber resources, and possessing a good harbor, only enterprise was needed to make the city one of the nation's leading lumber ports.
