E.A HITCHCOCK

Publication: 1900, Washington

First Edition. Disbound. 12pp. 56th Congress, 1st Session. House. Document No.626. An effort to purchase from a private owner the "Mammoth Tree Grove" and "South Park Grove of Big Trees", species of Sequoia gigantea, located in Calaveras County, California. Interesting correspondence regarding the trees, the purchase, and the fact that the owner was willing to sell at a value based on the value of the timber, if he didn't sell and logged it out. Fine.
