A Contribution to the Knowledge of the Economic Conditions of Bukovica and Podgorje in the 19th Century
Šime Peričić
Abstract
The economic conditions in Bukovica and Podgorje in the past, including the 19th century, are not sufficiently known to the public. Having in mind the need to bring to light the way of life of the populace of Dalmatia in its most backward parts, the author of the article has recently a number of times turned to this subject matter. Relying on already published works and on newly unearthed source material the author primarily describes the basic branch of activity of the population in this region during the targeted period – agriculture, emphasizing the immense significance of stock-breeding for the people’s survival in this area. Only in passing does he mention manufacturing and marketing of the populace because he has touched upon these themes when he described the town of Obrovac and its market activities.
