Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lumber Trade of the United States: With Special Reference to the Pacific Coast The drain uponthatimber land has been going on for years in many sections of the country. The first settlers in Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts early began to cut the forests for export purposes, and a very extensive trade with Europe in ship material was developed.
