Excerpt from Forest Conditions in the Northern Sierra Nevada, California The area of high relief of the region may be considered as consisting primarily of the main range of the Sierra Nevada, a secondary chain of mountains to the east of it paralleling it at distances varying from 10 to 20 miles. From these ranges proceed in all directions a multitude of ridges, which together constitute the mountain system of the region. The main uplift of the Sierra is a continuous northwest-southeast range, and forms the geographic divide throughout most of the region. In the northern part of the Downieville quadrangle it is cut through by the Middle Fork of Feather River. Which heads in the eastern range. The summit of the Sierra varies in elevation; most of it rarely falls below feet. South of Donner Pass numerous peaks rise to altitudes of over feet, while Mount Lola reaches an elevation of feet. The eastern slope of the range is generally short and abrupt; its western slope is longer and has a more gradual descent. The Sierra has been subjected to glaciation in all portions above feet, and abounds in rocky and bowlder-strewn slopes, narrow summits, semicircular glacial basins, and tracts of bare rock from which all soil has been swept away. None of its peaks rise above timber line, although Castle Peak, at an elevation of feet, has a narrow line of perpetual snow on its northeastern slopes, and the higher peaks south of Donner Pass usually hold banks of snow throughout the summer on northern slopes in the lee of projecting combs.

John Muir called it the "Range of Light, the most divinely beautiful of all the mountain chains I’ve ever seen." The Sierra Nevada—a single unbroken mountain range stretching north to south over four hundred miles, best understood as a single ecosystem but embracing a number of environmental communities—has been the site of human activity for millennia. From the efforts of ancient Native Americans to encourage game animals by burning brush to create meadows to the burgeoning resort and residential development of the present, the Sierra has endured, and often suffered from, the efforts of humans to exploit its bountiful resources for their own benefit. Historian David Beesley examines the history of the Sierra Nevada from earliest times, beginning with a comprehensive discussion of the geologic development of the range and its various ecological communities. Using a wide range of sources, including the records of explorers and early settlers, scientific and government documents, and newspaper reports, Beesley offers a lively and informed account of the history, environmental challenges, and political controversies that lie behind the breathtaking scenery of the Sierra. Among the highlights are discussions of the impact of the Gold Rush and later mining efforts, as well as the supporting industries that mining spawned, including logging, grazing, water-resource development, market hunting, urbanization, and transportation; the politics and emotions surrounding the establishment of Yosemite and other state and national parks; the transformation of the Hetch Hetchy into a reservoir and the desertification of the once-lush Owens Valley; the roles of the Forest Service, Park Service, and other regulatory agencies; the consequences of the fateful commitment to wildfire suppression in Sierran forests; and the ever-growing impact of tourism and recreational use. Through Beesley’s wide-ranging discussion, John Muir’s "divinely beautiful" range is revealed in all its natural and economic complexity, a place that at the beginning of the twenty-first century is in grave danger of being loved to death. Available in hardcover and paperback.

Excerpt from Notes on the Forest Conditions of Porto Rico Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a, report entitled N otes on the Forest Conditions of Porto Rico, by Mr. Robert T. Hill, of the United States Geological Survey, and to recommend its publication as Bulletin No. 25 of this Division? While the report is in no sense hmal or complete, it contains a preliminary statement sufficiently full to answer the great majority of questions of immediate interest con cerning forestry in Porto Rico. It embraces the results of observations made during a rapid recon'noissance through the military department of Porto Rico by Mr. Bill in J an uary, 1899, during Which he became familiar With its forests, and by inquiry among various persons engaged in wood-working trades obtained valuable information as to the quali ties and uses of the native timbers. The report contains not only a, clear statement of the forest resources of Porto Rico and the extent of its timber lands, but also such succinct descriptions of the physical features of the island as are necessary for an understanding of its forest problems.
