Book Description
This book is one man's memorial to the magnificent natural redwood Sequoia trees in California which today number only a fraction of the groves of 125 years ago. Through outstanding photographs, Ralph Andrews presents 239 different views of redwood trees three thousand years old on average at various stages of use. Straight, elegant trees are so wide 20 men touching fingers-to-fingers can stand around the trunk. These trees were used to build lumbering empires, and they kept thousands employed. Many of the lumbermen themselves are quoted in memories of their work on the old trees--hardships, inventions, earthquakes and fires, sawmills, logging camps and shipping are remembered.

Book Description
Excerpt from California Redwood It is estimated that there is standing today about 75 billion feet of Redwood timber. At the present rate of production there is over a cen tary's supply within this comparatively limited area in California. Paradoxical as it may seem, America's oldest tree is the least known and the last to be put to extensive use in the service of mankind. It was not until 1850 that any Redwood was cut for the market.

Book Description
Excerpt from Redwood: A Tale The attractions of novelty are too numerous and too evi dent to require argument or detail for their elucidation. Every one knows that new books, and especially new novels will be sought for and read, while those of more ancient date are dis regarded. Many read them only because they are new, and to such they do not come in competition with any other descrip tion of reading, but are merely suffered to seize on a vacant hour which might otherwise be less profitably employed.
