Florida's Gray Gold

Starting in the years after the Civil War, the mining of phosphates became big business all over the Deep South, and in the twenty-first century, mining operations in central Florida remains the largest source of phosphates in the United States and a major supplier of the minerals to the world. Florida mines provide components of modern fertilizers, nutritional supplements for animal feed, and the critical component of safety matches, and Florida’s Gray Gold is a complete history of phosphate mining in the Deep South and a narrative of its origins and current status in the state of Florida.
