520    Between the 1890s and the early 1920s, the boll weevil 
       slowly ate its way across the Cotton South from Texas to 
       the Atlantic Ocean. At the turn of the century, some Texas
       counties were reporting crop losses of over 70 percent, as
       were areas of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi. By the
       time the boll weevil reached the limits of the cotton belt,
       it had destroyed much of the region's chief cash crop-tens
       of billions of pounds of cotton, worth nearly a trillion 
       dollars. As staggering as these numbers may seem, James C.
       Giesen demonstrates that it was the very idea of the boll 
       weevil and the struggle over its meanings that most 
       profoundly changed the South-as different groups, from 
       policymakers to blues singers, projected onto this natural
       disaster the consequences they feared and the outcomes 
       they sought. Giesen asks how the myth of the boll weevil's
       lasting impact helped obscure the real problems of the 
       region-those caused not by insects, but by landowning 
       patterns, antiquated credit systems, white supremacist 
       ideology, and declining soil fertility. Boll Weevil Blues 
       brings together these cultural, environmental, and 
       agricultural narratives in a novel and important way that 
       allows us to reconsider the making of the modern American 
       South.
