Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This detailed, historical account chronicles Pennsylvania's early efforts to combat the devastation of the chestnut blight, a virulent, fungus-caused disease that ravaged American chestnut trees in the early 20th century. The book's narrative begins with the disease's discovery in 1908 and continues through 1913, when the Pennsylvania Chestnut Tree Blight Commission was still actively working to eradicate the blight. The narrative provides fascinating glimpses into the scientific and political challenges faced by the author, Deputy Commissioner of Forestry I.C. Williams, and other members of the Commission. The author also discusses the lack of public awareness about the disease in its early stages, which hindered efforts to control its spread from New York, where it was first identified in 1904, to Pennsylvania. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of forestry, plant pathology, or the devastating impact of invasive species on the American landscape.
