Devil in the Pines

Devil in the Pines collects documentation from 1873-74, the height of the lumbering boom in the Inland Seas Region, and serves as not only a troubling account of the destructive impact humans can have on the environment, but as a hopeful reminder of nature’s resilience. The travels of the Bottoms family take them from busy port cities of La Faute and Riverbend to more remote lands of pineries and lumberjacks. Along the way they document crimes, drug use, supernatural activity, cannibalism, and considerable bloodshed.
