Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful lumber interests stood in the way of the first campaigns to save the redwood trees of Humboldt County, California, but they were boldly opposed and pushed back. This history of the early 1900s recalls the Progressive Era crusades of women and men who prevailed against great odds, protecting the best of California’s northern redwood forests. This book tells the forgotten, dramatic story of early 20th-century Californians and other Americans who were the first group to preserve an important span of California’s northern redwood forests, a story never told before in one place. Numerous books have been published about battles to save the redwoods, particularly during the California redwood wars of the 1960s, 1970s and 1990s. But no book exclusively details the first fights during the 1920s and 1930s and portrays the significant role of women. By successfully fending off the logging industry, they paved the way for the modern environmental movement. The book, incorporating archived material that highlights for the first time the prominent role of women, covers the most formative period of early efforts to save the redwoods, the 21 years from 1913 through 1934. The story recounts a colorful moment in time when a paradigm firmly shifted toward preservation and a new generation of native Californians successfully faced down Eastern lumber interests over destruction of their beautiful, ancient forests. The storyline follows a trajectory of initial failure and ridicule, then limited successes, and the determination that overcame the entrenched intransigence of lumber interests. Finally, a historic rush of stunning preservation victories established Humboldt Redwoods State Park as the largest expanse of surviving old-growth redwoods on earth. This book offers a definitive account of a pivotal moment in environmentalism and a new explanation of how forceful, determined people a century ago preserved the great California redwood forests that are now enjoyed by millions of visitors from every corner of earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is not a simple or ordinary history of a conservation crusade. Schrepfer very ably traces the changes in scientific wisdom from nineteenth-century romanticism and teleological evolutionism to more current ecological dynamism—and the influence of those intellectual developments on political history. . . . The subject is important—much broader than the title suggests—and so is the book."—American Historical Review

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saving the Redwoods: An Account of the Movement During 1919 to Preserve the Redwoods of California These groves are stated generally to be about thirty-two in number and are much scattered and isolated in the northern part Of their range, while in the south they are larger and closer together. This distribution shows that the Big Tree is on the decline, the various groves having long Since lost touch with each other, while in the north the reproduction is very poor. They all grow in Spots sheltered by surrounding for ests and the slopes of the Sierras are more or less windless, but unless artificially protected in national parks they would soon be destroyed for their valuable lumber. They have suffered throughout the ages from ground fires. Their enormously thick bark, which is from one-half to two feet through. Is a great protection, and the tree lives on, although its heart has been burned out, SO long as this bark and its underlying cambium layer can reach the earth. If protected by human care the Big Tree has remarkable recuperative power, and many Of the trees in the Giant Forest show an accelerated growth owing to their immunity from fire even for a few decades.
