The photographs were professionally produced by the Higginbotham Photo Company of Dallas Texas with their paper label affixed to the inside front cover of each album. Ten of the eighteen photographs feature African- American laborers in the fields on tractors posed outside the processing area or on trucks loading freight trains. Of the ten photographs four are unique examples and three are present in duplicate. In addition to the African-American workers several shots feature poor white laborers processing potatoes including one shot of workers using a Boggs Potato Grader. <br> <br> Hastings became the "Potato capital of Florida" in the early 1900s after Thomas Horace Hastings established a 1569-acre plantation to grow winter vegetables.

Hastings remains an important agricultural center today serving as the packing and shipping center for a tri- county consortium of potato farmers with farms that also produce cabbage onions eggplant and other vegetables. hardcover books
