Long Description | Backwoodsmen:Stockmen and Hunters along a BIg Thicket Valley presents a detailed social history of the back-country stockmen, hunters, and woodsmen of the Neches River in southeastern Texas. Labeled "crackers," "pineys," "sandhillers," and "nesters" by townspeople across the upland South, southern backwoodsmen have often been dismissed by historians. One of the first works to challenge these stereotypes was Frank Owsley’s Plain Folk of the Old South (1949). In Backwoodsmen , Thad Sitton follows Owsley’s stockmen and small farmers into the twentieth century. As in parts of Appalachia, many elements of centuries-old herding and hunting lifeways survived in the Neches Valley into the 1960s. In what early settlers called the "Big Thicket" or "Big Woods," everything outside fenced fields was, by long established custom, "open range," a wooded commons in which hogs, cattle, and backwoodsmen were free to roam. And roam they did--not only stockmen, with their "rooter hogs" and "woods cattle," but also tir cutters, grey-moss gatherers, hunters, trappers, fishermen, and moonshiners. Sitton details their daily activities, relying mainly on oral history interviews he conducted with dozens of Neches Valley woodsmen. Along the edge of river bottoms, at the end of county roads, the author found hist story, still alive in the memories of the people of the Neches River. |

This describes how to use version 2.x of the data feed. Version 1.x of the feed is no longer supported in any way.
Accessing the data requires your account to have an active data feed. This switch can be turned on or off on the data feed page. This is also where you will be able to view your KEYCODE which is required to make calls to the feed.
You must always pass these...
- keycode : 16 digit code (your app doesn't need to log in, it only needs the keycode)
- mode : json, xml or csv
When looking up data...
- find : 8, 12 or 13 digits to search for
- comp : yes/no (optional, defaults to "yes". if "no" skip the company lookup)
- pending : yes/no (optional, defaults to "no". if "yes" pending updates may be returned)
- search : normal/deep - if this is omitted or any unexpected value, a normal search will be performed. A deep search will take longer than a normal search. Our web bots will make an effort to locate more information about the product. This only happens if we have no information on file already. This can take a couple extra seconds or up to a minute. Your app needs to be able to deal with this delay. (defaults to normal)
When updating data...
- update : 8, 12 or 13 digits to search for
- field : The product field to update (sorry, no company updates allows)
- value : The new value (will go into a pending area until validated)
- Only products information can be updated (no company info)
- Only update one field per request
- Update may be ignored if other pending updates exist
- Error result status is returned if updating a locked product
- To upload product images, see this blog article.
To download the list of categories...
- get : category
The feed return data structure...
All fieds are returned regardless of the result. Check the status code before trying to make use of any of the data returned. As long as the code you send is valid (not an error) the barcode field will hold a link to a baccode graphic. If you get a 404 error because we can't find the product, you may still get valid data in the company section so you may want to check the company name field.
