About one hundred years after this story was set, I remember traveling across the pass from eastern Washington. When I left, the mountainsides were covered with timber. When I returned, they were bare. It was horrifying. I remember an outcry that resulted in some regulations, but it was still too much, too damaging. I am curious about Timberline, but I am also curious about your upcoming historical work on this issue. Thank you for pursuing this!
I am an ardent believer of conservation over annihilation for temporary, superficial gains. You weaved the concept of trees and human attributes in an extraordinary manner. More people need to remember this! Thank you for sharing this, Jay. 💚
Thank you, Komal. That means a great deal. “Conservation over annihilation” is exactly the tension I hoped would come through — what we choose to preserve says as much about us as what we choose to take. ~ Keep on Writing
