The moorlands of Gascony was a place of dramatic rural modernization in nineteenth-century France, transforming in one generation from open moors to the largest man-made forest in Europe. This study draws upon the immense ethnographic archive of Félix Arnaudin (1844-1921) to explore how these changes were negotiated by the people who lived there.
