Download or read book Two Gold Rings and the Legend of Tall Tree written by Thomas D. Payne and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-26 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 1770, twenty-year-old Jacob Harris was called before the king, who knew of his great desire to go to the New World across the ocean. In respect for the dedicated service of Jacob’s father and grandfather to the Crown, the king presented him with a land grant of ten thousand acres, boat passage, and enough gold coins to start a new life in the new land. Jacob fell to his knees upon seeing for the first time the magnificent virgin trees and giving the name of Tall Tree to the vast acreage. He spent twenty years carving out many acres to plant and acres for grazing and built a large brick house before marrying Ruth, now thirty years old, whom he first met on the boat as a shy ten-year-old. A little girl at the time, telling her mother she just met the only man she would ever consider marrying someday. Several years after their marriage, they had one son, William. Jacob—even though he purchased slaves to help him and three other white men to clear the land—never treated them as slaves, taking time to educate them to do things and think on their own. William, who later inherited the land, followed and improved on his father’s ideas in the treatment of the black people. As a young boy, he forged a bond of great friendship with another young boy at the time. A boy of the black race who, by a quirk of nature, grew to a gigantic size. A sad time in the period of the Civil War, fate brought with her a heavy hand full of tragedies to dump on the beautiful grounds of Tall Tree and its inhabitants. The many tragedies that seemed to be unfair in its great toll on the Harris family. One was to cause the disappearance of two special gold rings, to finally return home from their travels in 1945, and to try once again to bring about the happiness they were forged to do eighty-one years ago.

Book excerpt: What if the stories of trees and people are more closely linked than we ever imagined? Winner of the World Wildlife Fund's 2020 Jan Wolkers PrizeOne of Science News's "Favorite Books of 2020" A New York Times "New and Noteworthy" BookA 2020 Woodland Book of the YearGold Winner of the 2020 Foreword INDIES Award in Ecology & EnvironmentBronze Winner of the 2021 Independent Publisher Book Award in Environment/Ecology People across the world know that to tell how old a tree is, you count its rings. Few people, however, know that research into tree rings has also made amazing contributions to our understanding of Earth's climate history and its influences on human civilization over the past 2,000 years. In her captivating book Tree Story, Valerie Trouet reveals how the seemingly simple and relatively familiar concept of counting tree rings has inspired far-reaching scientific breakthroughs that illuminate the complex interactions between nature and people. Trouet, a leading tree-ring scientist, takes us out into the field, from remote African villages to radioactive Russian forests, offering readers an insider's look at tree-ring research, a discipline known as dendrochronology. Tracing her own professional journey while exploring dendrochronology's history and applications, Trouet describes the basics of how tell-tale tree cores are collected and dated with ring-by-ring precision, explaining the unexpected and momentous insights we've gained from the resulting samples. Blending popular science, travelogue, and cultural history, Tree Story highlights exciting findings of tree-ring research, including the fate of lost pirate treasure, successful strategies for surviving California wildfire, the secret to Genghis Khan's victories, the connection between Egyptian pharaohs and volcanoes, and even the role of olives in the fall of Rome. These fascinating tales are deftly woven together to show us how dendrochronology sheds light on global climate dynamics and uncovers the clear links between humans and our leafy neighbors. Trouet delights us with her dedication to the tangible appeal of studying trees, a discipline that has taken her to austere and beautiful landscapes around the globe and has enabled scientists to solve long-pondered mysteries of Earth and its human inhabitants.
