The Timber Tycoons is the story of Paul D. Robert and James L. Camp, who devoted their loves to Virginia enterprises and their three brothers who simultaneously established lumbering, phosphate, citrus, and road-building material businesses in central Florida. They were William N. Camp of Ocala, Dr. Benjamin Franklin Camp of White Springs, and John Stafford Camp. The sons of the Camp brothers' two sisters, Mary Eliza Williams of Franklin, and Sarah Virginia "Jenny" Norfleet of Newberry, Florida, also worked for Camp enterprises. Prominent in the story are the wives and daughters who contributed much to the family's success. The sons of the Civil War-era George and Sallie Cutchins Camp were careful to choose able wives, who shared their work ethic, their family consciousness, and their austere Calvinism. Big people themselves, the Camps usually had big families and lived on big farms.
