다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Pines made a large proportion of the trees of the primitive forests of the eastern and lower lands of Virginia and North Carolina. And when any of these lands had been cleared and cultivated, exhausted and abandoned, then a new growth of pines formed the universal unmixed cover. As nearly all the lands of lower Virginia had had been thus treated, and in succession had reached this second growth, which thus covered all the then poorest and most worthless lands, a general cover of pines, and the term "pine old-fields," came to be generally understood as indicative of the poorest and meanest of lands.
