Don't know if you fellows have seen this website. PATC-sponsored. Has
some excellent historical photos of enormous trees and fantastic groves
that once covered the Alleghenies.

You can see it

Nice, if horrifying, photo of an unbelievably huge white oak prepared
for felling:

James,

That white oak is a redwood, and has been a past discussion topic on this
list. ... Have you ever seen white oak bark a foot thick?

The photo appears in an excellent book titled "Coast Redwood: A Natural
and Cultural History", along with dozens of other stunning photos. The
caption to the photo reads:

"With its undercut completed, this redwood near Fortuna is ready for a
back cut." The photo credit is given as the Steenfott Collection of the
Humboldt State [California] University Library.
