5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy companion to "Eastern Trees", June 16, 2000
By P. van Rijckevorsel (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Natural History of Western Trees (Paperback)
In the same grand style as in his "A Natural History of Trees of Eastern and Central North America" the writer continues with unsurpassed stories on trees, in this case the trees of Western North America, where the greatest living trees on the world can be found. What can I add to this? [see also my review on "Eastern Trees"]

It is a great pity Donald Culross Peattie was unable to follow through on his plan for a volume on Southern Trees. [For a few brief notes on the life and the untimely death of the writer see the afterword by his son Noel in the 1991 Indiana University Press reprint of "Flowering Earth"]
