Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forest-Land Owners of Kentucky The most recent forest survey of Ken tucky - 1975 - provided estimates of forest area and timber volume by broad owner categories (kingsley and Powell That survey did not, however, estimate the timber volume or acreage of commercial forest land that is available for har vesting. The report also did not describe forest land owners, their reasons for owning forest land, or their attitudes toward timber harvesting, forest management, and the recreational use of their lands by the public. Such information is useful to public agencies for planning and organizing forestry-related pro grams; to forest industries for locating available timber; and to others for learning more about the motivations and objectives of forest-land owners. Ninety-two percent of the commercial forest land in Kentucky is in private hands, and an in-depth look at the private forest-land owners will provide a better understanding of the forest resources of the State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kentucky Forests, Eastern Unit To meet these needs, the Division of Forestry of the Kentucky Department of Natural Resources and the U. S. Forest Service planned and conducted a new inventory of Kentucky forests. The field work was completed in 1964. The mcsweeney-mcnary Forest Research Act of 1928 authorizes the Forest Service to complete a statewide forest inventory of Kentucky at approximate 10 year intervals. This is part of the nationwide program of maintaining a current account of our timber resources. The State of Kentucky appropriated for the current survey. This contribution, supplementing the Federal funds available for a regular survey, made it possible to intensify the inventory. As a result, we can provide the kind of detailed information needed for making long-range plans to meet future demands and in addition help local communities and forest-based industries make more efficient use of the forest resource. Clarence D. Chase, Leader of the Survey Project at the Lake States Forest Experiment Station, directed the inventory. Field survey units of the Kentucky Division of Forestry and the Lake States Station collected the basic inventory data. The Lake States Station computed and tabulated the final statistics and the Central States Forest Experiment Station analyzed and reported the results.

He would have uttered the long forest shout, as a signal to his comrade, but even that was forbidden. Henry had seen signs in the forest that indicated more than once to his infallible eye the presence of roving warriors from the north, and no risk must be taken. But, as usual, it was only the note of the wilderness that came to his ears. He stopped also once or twice, not to listen, but to look at the splendid country, and to think What a great land it would surely be.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Lands in the Forest Preserve, 1909 Sir. - I have the honor to submit herewith a list of lands constituting the Forest Preserve, Though of little or no interest to the general public, it is the most important and valuable publication issued by the Department.

Download or read book The Older Forest Plantations in Massachusetts Classic Reprint written by J. R. Simmons and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Older Forest Plantations in Massachusetts Seed plots were attempted by some, and others even tried out broadcast sowing. At the end of this period there were in Massachusetts alone forest plantations of white pine to the extent of 10,000 acres. Typical of the forest planters of this time was Mr. Augustus Pratt, a former member of the State Board of Agriculture, who, when nineteen years old, planted pine seed on an old pasture belonging to his father. The wood lot which thus developed has been recently cut, and was between forty and fifty years old. After 1880 interest began to decline, chiefly because of the immense supply of lumber brought from the region of the Great Lakes at a low rate of transportation and the inadequate methods of combating forest fires; these conditions tended to gradually dampen the enthusiasm of the forest planter. Present Need of Reforestation. We are now entering once more upon a campaign for the reclamation of waste land. This is due not alone to the decrease in our supply of lumber, but also to the following facts: - There is a growing sentiment among our people for forests and scenic beauty. There are nearly 1,000,000 acres of waste land in Massachusetts; our hardwood forests are threatened by gypsy, brown-tail and other moth pests, and our beautiful chestnut tracts by the ever-increasing chestnut bark disease. Improved methods of forest-fire fighting and the co-operation of railroads, local fire departments and individuals have made possible the protection of forests, once they have been acquired. Coniferous trees offer the best means of realizing our present needs. They act as the most effective check upon the devastations of the moth, being unedible to the brown-tail, while the gypsy will pass them by if he can find anything else upon which to subsist. Beneath a pine forest there is always a thick bed of needles which keeps the ground moist and free from sprouts and deciduous seedlings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Old Kentucky To be easily assimilated, our mental food, like our physical food, should be carefully chosen and attractively served. The history of the "Dark and Bloody Ground" teems with adventure and patriotism. Its pages are filled with the great achievements, the heroic deeds, and the inspiring examples of the explorers, the settlers, and the founders of our state. In the belief that a knowledge of their struggles and conquests is food that is both instructive and inspiring, and with a knowledge that a text on history does not always attract, the author sets before the youth of Kentucky these stories of some of her great men. This book is intended as both a supplementary reader and a text, for, though in story form, the chapters are arranged chronologically, and every fact recorded has been verified. Thanks are due to the many friend who have granted access to papers of historical value, to many others who have assisted in making this book a reality, and especially to my husband, Dr. Clyde Edison Purcell, for his valuable suggestions, careful criticisms, and untiring cooperation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronicles of a Kentucky Settlement After having been actively engaged for twenty-five years in commercial pursuits, in America and Europe, the time came when a long and severe illness left me such a cripple that I have since been unable to engage in any active employment. Then (in 1883) to while away hours that would otherwise have been tedious, I began writing some incidents in the life of one of the early settlers of Livingston County, intending to present the sketches to one of my children. As I progressed, I became so much interested in my work that, knowing as I did many of the pioneer settlers of the county, I went far beyond my original design, and hence this book. Its title, "Chronicles of a Kentucky Settlement," was suggested to me by an old friend, a fine scholar and a competent critic, as best fitting the character of the work. The book, however, is not, as some may infer from its title, a Local History. I endeavored to make it of interest to general readers. The first entry of lands in the Virginia Military District when opened at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1784, was in Livingston County, at the junction of the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers.

It was his plan that with each descriptive article should go a short story dealing with the same subject, and this plan was in part wrought out.

In the same way, there were to be short stories severally dealing with the other subjects embraced in this volume. But having in part wrought out this plan, the author has let it rest - not finally, perhaps, but because in the mean time he has found himself en gaged with other themes.

Consequently, for many years he made frequent trips into the territory, stay ing as long as two years on one occa sion, and winning the title of The Long Hunter. Boone was alone on many of these trips, never seeing the face of a white man, but frequently meeting roving bands of Indians. From a cave in the side of Pilot Knob in Powell County, he could catch glimpses of the joyous sports of the Shawnee boys at Indian Fields; and from the projecting rocks he feasted his eyes on the herds of buffalo winding across the prairie.

Download or read book A History of Elizabethtown Kentucky and Its Surroundings Classic Reprint written by Samuel Haycraft and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Elizabethtown, Kentucky and Its Surroundings Samuel Haycraft's "History of Elizabethtown and Its Surroundings" was published in the Elizabethtown News in 1869 and republished in 1889-90. The preservation of this history through its publication in the News is a happy occurrence, for in no other way would much of the early history of the town have been accurately preserved. Mr. Haycraft was a son of one of the three pioneer settlers of the town, and was born when the town was still an early pioneer settlement. At the time of his death he had lived here 83 years, and he was the only remaining citizen whose life went back to the town's earliest days. Elizabethtown is now 140 years old, and it will not be long before no one will be left whose interest in the town's history is quickened by personal memory of its early inhabitants. When that time comes, traditions will rapidly grow vague, and the knowledge of its early history and characters will be lost. On account of facts like these the Elizabethtown Woman's Club undertook the publication of Haycraft's History in book form. The original suggestion of this came from Mrs. William Allen Pusey, of Chicago. There are many Elizabethtown people both at home and abroad to whom the town is dear and who are interested in preserving its history. When this matter was proposed to them there was a gratifying response which has enabled the club to proceed with the undertaking. Quite aside from local interest and personal feelings there are other good reasons for the publication of this work. It is an exceedingly interesting document, particularly in the vivid description which the writer gives of pioneer customs and conditions. The author loved the town and its early history, and he describes it in vigorous style and with a quaint sense of humor. He was little disturbed in his writing by the laws of composition, but his descriptions flow on easily, and the reader is never uncertain as to what he is trying to say. The original copy has been reproduced without any effort at alteration or correction. A few chapters, composed of material not really a part of the history of the town and its surroundings, have been omitted.
