Henry E. Hardtner : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry E. Hardtner
Henry Ernest Hardtner (September 10, 1870 – August 7, 1935)〔 was a Louisiana businessman and conservationist regarded as "the father of forestry in the South."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hardtner, Henry E. )〕〔 He founded and named the town of Urania in La Salle Parish and served single terms as a Democrat in both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature. In 1900 he was the Republican candidate for Louisiana's 5th congressional district, losing to future U.S. Senator Joseph E. Ransdell of Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish.〔Billy Hathorn, "Otto Passman, Jerry Huckaby, and Frank Spooner: The Louisiana Fifth Congressional District Campaign of 1976", ''Louisiana History: The Journal of the Louisiana Historical Association,'' Vol. LIV, No. 3 (Summer 2013), pp. 345-346〕 ==Early years==
Hardtner was born to E.J. Hardtner and the former Emma Schraeder, both of German ancestry, in Pineville, located across the Red River from the larger Alexandria, Louisiana. The elder Hardtner emigrated from Germany in 1865 and was a shoemaker by trade. E.J. Hardtner and J.M. Nugent built a small sawmill ten miles (16 km) north of Alexandria after the Missouri Pacific Railroad built a line through the virgin pine forest between Alexandria and Monroe to the north. Henry Hardtner worked in his father's business and later studied bookkeeping at Soule Business College in New Orleans.〔Anna C. Burns, "Henry E. Hardtner: Louisiana's First Conservationist," ''Journal of Forest History'' Vol. 22, No. 2 (April 1978), pp. 78-85〕 Hardtner began operating sawmills north of Alexandria, one of which was located south of Olla in La Salle Parish on the Iron Mountain Railroad. Hardtner renamed the location "Urania," meaning "heavenly," because of the beauty of the natural terrain there. In 1898, he reorganized as the Urania Lumber Company〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Urania history )〕 and purchased land for some $5 per acre to the north in Caldwell Parish. He built a freight railroad, the Natchez, Urania and Ruston, but it was never completed beyond eight miles (13 km). As the nominal president of a railroad, Hardtner enjoyed pass privileges on other lines, a helpful asset for the travels stemming from his business and conservation commitments/〔 In addition to his forestry endeavors, Hardtner was a vestryman in the St. James Episcopal Church in Alexandria,〔 and was active in the Masonic lodge and the Good Roads Association, a transportation lobbying group active in several states.〔
