Excerpt from | Oral History Interview with Raymond, Eunice, Wayne, and Charles Russell English, December 8, 1999. Interview K-0280. Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007) |
Wayne English describes some of the local changes that have damaged the environment: the logging industry is clearing land and the county's two million hogs are contaminating the water.

Wayne's observations demonstrate the vulnerability of the natural environment, or at least the overwhelming power of industry to change it.
