A train bringing copper ore out of the mine, Ducktown, Tenn. Fumes from smelting copper for sulfuric acid have destroyed all vegetation and eroded the land (LOC)

    This is the caption that Marion Post Walcott included with her photo from 1939 but the actual damage to the vegetation occurred in the late 1800's. The smelting technology of that time did not allow the sulfur dioxide generated by the heating of the ore to be captured. By 1909 the mining companies developed new practices which let them recover the sulfur dioxide and use it in the manufacture of sulfuric acid.

    I am interested in writing a book (a historical novel) about slavery and Harriet Tubman. May I please use this photograph in my book, please? Of course, you will be named with the photograph! Looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you and have a blessed day!

    To the seeker without frontiers: The picture has the status of “no known copyright restrictions,” in this case because the photo was made by the U.S. federal government, which are not eligible for U.S. copyright protection. You can find out more about the “no known copyright restrictions” status on this Flickr page: www.flickr.com/commons/usage/. We also offer information in our rights overview, “Copyright and Other Restrictions That Apply to Publication/Distribution of Images: Assessing the Risk of Using a P&P Image”—sometimes there are other types of rights to consider, in addition to copyright so best to review this as well. The Library of Congress is generally not in a position to grant or deny permission to publish images from its holdings because in most cases it does not hold rights to the images.
