To provide a single-volume interpretation of American forest history. In addition to closing a historiographical gap lamented by historians of American lumbering, forestry and conservation, the project will provide a valuable instructional tool and a work of general interest for a bicentennial-minded public increasingly concerned with the roots of current environmental and economic issues.
