Excerpt from A Preliminary Sketch of the Phosphates of FloridaThe existence of phosphate of lime within the State of Florida has been known for over a decade, but until the spring of 1887, the extent and value of its deposits, possibly with one exception, were unsuspected. In that year Col. T. S. Moorehead, induced by a statement made by Mr. J. F. Le Baron, examined the gravels of the Peace river, recognized the importance of the deposits, acquired such tracts as were regarded as desirable, and established the pebble-phos phate industry, making his first shipment in May, 1888, to the Scott Manufacturing Company, of Atlanta, Ga.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
