"In the summer of 1899 several prominent manufacturers of the Pacific coast requested that the Division now Bureau of Forestry make a study of the Redwood. The Division put a party in the field which in six months during the years 1899 and 1900 examined nearly all the Redwood belt. Studies of old timber were made at For Bragg Mendocino County; at Scotia Humboldt County; at Ryan's Sough near Eureka; at Vance's on Mad River; and at Crescent City Del Norte County. Second growth in small areas was studied at Crescent City Trinidad Eureka and Arcata. The illustrations which include thirteen marvelous full page black and white plates four text figures and two diagrams are considered essential for a proper understanding of the text." - Gifford Pinchot.
