Description:This 1971 book is an examination of the redwoods’ survival beginning over 100 million years ago and including the effect of the Ice Age and natural disasters. The book explains why the redwoods made their last stand along the northern California coast. Janet Randall focuses on their relatively recent history including the exploration and progress of California, where the plunder of the forests was inaugurated after the great gold rush. The author also describes several techniques of logging which were engaged to ruinous consequences to the forest and attempts of commercial and environmental interests to sustain the trees by selective logging, proliferation of tree farms, and origin of national and state parks. It is remarkable to see her favorable views of lumber companies and the minuscule allowances they made to conservationist efforts. After describing the ineffectiveness of selective logging due to wind storms knocking down the trees left, Randall reports that “clear cutting is still done today on these sections,” as if that’s a necessary thing.
