Please note that some of what this document says about the early history of Lawrence County in those first pages contains some inaccuracies.
The Soil Report details what kinds of soil were found in which parts of the county, and what kinds of crops grew well in those types of soil. It also points out interesting statistics, such as the average size of farms in Lawrence County in 1900 was 127.2 acres, and at that time, more than 3/4 of the county was forested.
