Cotton Kingdom in the South Chapter 14 section 3 “The grave was dug through solid marble, but the marble headstone came from Vermont. It was a pine wilderness but the pine coffin came from Cincinnati. An iron mountain overshadowed it but the coffin nails and the screws and the shovel came from Pittsburgh….A hickory grove grew nearby, but the pick and shovel handles came from New York….That country, so rich in underdeveloped resources, furnished nothing for the funeral except the corpse and the hole in the ground.”
