In a Great Pine Forest, Collecting Turpentine, North Carolina
Add to SetSummary
Harvesting pine sap (resin) required physical labor and techniques that weakened the pine trees. Individuals seen in this stereograph "hacked" away bark to channel the sap into a container for harvest, strained the resin, and loaded full barrels onto ox-drawn carts bound for market. The distilled sap yielded turpentine and rosin, essential ingredients in several industrial products.
