Between the 1890s and the early 1920s, the boll weevil slowly ate its way across the Cotton South. At the turn of the century some Texas counties were reporting crop losses of over 70 percent. As staggering as these numbers may seem, Giesen demonstrates that it was the very idea of the boll weevil that changed the South.
