Yep, my grand father talked about the battle of Verdun as something that changed his life. Omar, maybe yours was at Verdun as well, you never know; they could have been buddies in some forsaken trench, ducking from German snippers and waiting for that dreaded whistle to charge ahead only to be met with mustard gas and machine guns.

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. Reclamation in the Basin began in the 1930's with varying degrees of success initially. By the 1970's new techniques were developed and today most of the Basin has been revegetated.
