California Redwood e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. 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.
