This handbook aims to give in encyclopedic form, for ready reference, an illustrated summary to date of information on where and how pine gum, or oleoresin, is obtained from living trees with suggestions for improving methods of production. The information presented here, if applied, should result in more profitable returns from the forests, reduction of forest wastes, and improved products from the second-growth longleaf and slash pines in the Southeastern States.

Naval stores are a nearly forgotten legacy in the South, but throughout history nations have depended on them, sought them out, and fought wars over these coniferous products. These products--tar, pitch, turpentine, and rosin--long kept the wooden navies of the world afloat and found many other uses prior to petrochemical dominance. Even with the decline in sailing ships, there has been an international demand for these products. This is the story of a remarkable, but messy, industry that helped support much of the South's economy for nearly 400 years.
