Cutting Unit Fact Sheets or Stumpage Reports? Who the Hell Knows.
I'm still working on the Forestry Foundation papers at my archives job. Today I got all the Cutting Unit Fact Sheets in order and labeled the folders. "Cutting Unit Fact Sheets, Sections 44-127-304 - 44-127-312, 1980 - 1981," and so on and so on... I spent two hours with them and I still can't tell you what a Cutting Unit Fact Sheet is. They are much more formal looking than Stumpage Reports. I did Stumpage Reports yesterday. They are anything from index cards, scraps of paper, or sometimes forms, that detailed how many cords of wood were on each truck the paper company was taking on outta there. From these they figured how much the paper companies owed the forest people. Of course they figured this amount using Stumpage Rates, and the Stumpage Reports. I still don't know what a Cutting Unit Fact Sheet is. Don't even ask me about about the damn Cutting Tallies, but they are in chronological order now. Tomorrow will be something different: Timber Purchase Sales Agreements. I really do like this job. They leave me the hell alone.
Quote of the Day:
To understand the South is to feel the pathos in its history. This aura of pathos is more than a delusion of historians, more than a vague sensation one gets when looking down an avenue of somber, moss-draped live oaks leading to stately ruins or to nothing at all. For Southerners live in the shadow of a real tragedy; they know, better than most other Americans, that little ironies fill the history of mankind and that large disasters from time to time unexpectedly help to shape its course.
Their tragedy did not begin with the ordeal of Reconstruction, or with the agony of the civil war, but with the growth of a "peculiar institution" (as they called it) in ante-bellum days. It began, in short, with chattel slavery whose spiritual stresses and unremitting social tensions became an inescapable part of life in the Old South.
--- Kenneth Stampp, The Peculiar Institution: Slavery in the Ante-Bellum South, 1956.
