About This Item
Washington, D.C.: GPO Magazine. Very Good. Soft cover. pp377-382, plus four plates. Removed from ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1948. VG. In plastic report covers. From the report: "Yet the story of the chestnut is ne every American should know and ponder. For not only is it a tragic reminder of what can happen to a valuable resource when danger signals are ignored, but it points with millions of dead and ghostly snags, all that is left of one of the most magnificent trees indigenous to our woodlands, to the fallacy of the kind of thinking that adds up to 'too little, and too late.' And unless the American people show greater understanding of the destructive power of tree killing diseases and insects, the tragedy of the chestnut can be re-enacted." When this report was issued, the American Chestnut was on the verge of extinction but scientists, over the years, have been able to create hybrid versions of the tree..
