Excerpt from Bibliography of Great Plains Forestry In the past 5 years increasing emphasis has again been placed upon action and research programs of tree planting and associated problems of windbreak protection and land use in the agriculture of the Great Plains. Because of this renewed interest it is desirable to take a fresh look at the background of literature on the subject and carefully review previous accomplishments. In this way we can profit from past experience and prevent repetition of mistakes. A critical evaluation of past work can also aid in pointing out the important problems to be considered in current and future research programs. The background in Great Plains tree planting consists of nearly 100 years of experience. Many of the problems faced today were recognized near the turn of the century by a handful of men devoted to a pioneering job in this new and different phase of the field of forestry. Many foresters in the Great Plains region have voiced the need for a Bibliography; the Forestry Committee of the Great Plains Agricultural Council has been especially encouraging. Various members of this committee reviewed this manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Eighty Years of Vegetation and Landscape Changes in the Northern Great Plains: A Photographic Record The second set of photos was taken of the original sites from June 13, 1958 to August 18, 1960. Shantz took a portion of these before he died in 1958 while on the road rephotographing the sites. He was accompanied on that trip by Dr. Walter S. Phillips, University of Arizona, who completed the repeat photography task in 1959, with the assistance of University of Arizona student Freeman Smith (now Dr. Freeman Smith, Colorado State University), and in 1960 in the company of his wife, Thelma K. Phillips. The 1998 photographs were taken from July 21 to August 5, 1998, by Dr. Charles Kay, Utah State University. Sites were again visited during the summer of 1999 by Keith Klement, us.

Excerpt from The Book of Forestry The American people are by inheritance a nation of forest butchers. Possessing a continent originally endowed with superb forests, unequalled in any part of the globe, the three hundred years which have passed since the Colonists landed upon the Atlantic Coast have seen the area of our forests diminished by acres, while the contents have been reduced to less than half.
