Traces the transition from the labour-intensive sharecropping and tenancy system to the capital-intensive neo-plantations of the post-World War II era to the portfolio plantation model. Through Lee Wilson's story, Whayne provides a case study of strategic innovation and the changing economy of the American south in the late nineteenth century.
