The Story of Tobacco in America

This history of tobacco in America begins with the country's earliest times. The author gives the broadest possible interpretation to his assignment, tracing not only the industry itself in its various aspects--plantation, leaf market, factory, and fluctuating nicotine manners--but also the effect of tobacco on political, economic, and social life in America through the years.
