Reinier interviewed Leigh Beck at Beck’s home in Vallejo, California on June 10, 11, and 13, 2002. Dr. Reinier is a former professor and director of the Oral History Program at California State University, Sacramento. She has taught Oral History Interviewing in the Capital Campus Public History Program at California State University, Sacramento and at Vista College in Berkeley, California. She and her students have done previous interviewing of Region 5 USDA Forest Service employees in California. She also has conducted interviews with women in the Forest Service, including Wendy Herrett, Geri Vanderveer Bergen and Clara Johnson. Prior to these interviews she was able to conduct research in materials furnished by Linda Lux, Forest Service Historian for Region 5, and in the library of the Pacific Southwest Regional Office of the USDA Forest Service in Vallejo, California. The interview was conducted in Beck’s home overlooking the Carquinez Strait during the portions of each day that she could spare from her demanding job. Although a charming and cooperative interviewee, she was concerned about sharing information while she was still on the job. At intervals throughout the interview the tape recorder was turned off while Beck thought through exactly how she wanted to relate her story. Those moments are indicated by the word “Interruption” surrounded by brackets in the text of the transcript. Beck began her career as an investigator for the Civil Service Commission in Atlanta, Georgia, shortly

  • The American Tree Farm System Celebrated Its 70Th Anniversary
    In 2011, the American Tree Farm System celebrated its 70th anniversary. After a controversial beginning, it is now an important player in efforts to mitigate climate change. The American Tree Farm System GROWING STEWARDSHIP FROM THE ROOTS “ ill the thing before it spreads,” U.S. Forest Service Chief Lyle Watts allegedly declared. Watts and his assistant C. Edward Behre tried to kill the thing in K 1941. They failed, and it spread from the West, into the South, and eventually all across America. The “thing” was the American Tree Farm System (ATFS), which is now 71 years old and America’s oldest family-owned federal regulation is certainly not to its discredit,” according to woodland sustainability program, covering more than 26 million the journal. privately owned acres. Why were Watts and Behre against tree farms in 1941? PUSH FOR FEDERAL REGULATION Encouraging private owners to grow continuous crops of trees The strong push for federal regulation of forestry had begun in (as tree farming was defined) probably was not abhorrent to them. the 1930s, during America’s Great Depression. Federal forestry What they disliked was substituting private cooperation for public leaders believed that they should closely regulate the private sector, regulation. They saw tree farming as a move to decrease pressure and many people agreed. The National Industrial Recovery Act for federal regulation. of 1933, for example, had authority to coordinate major industries Watts and Behre asked the Society of American Foresters to to set prices, working conditions, and (in the case of forest indus- question the ethics of members who participated in tree farming.

I am persuaded that mountain goats were historically absent in the area. All documents were useful, but I am most influenced by Randall Schalk's ethnographic and archaeological work. From his and similar works, I have come to understand just how thoroughly native peoples made full "use" of their environment. If goats had existed on the Peninsula during the time period studied, a resource that valuable would have left abundant evidence. The least persuasive work by far was that of Professor Lyman's. To be blunt, I found it to be a poorly written, poorly edited, and poorly published bit of speculation of what might possibly be found if there were enough grants to support enough digs. This piece is akin to a historian lamenting that if the courthouse had not burned down with all the records it supposedly contained, that no doubt someone could write a fine history that would answer all of our questions. If life were only that simple. Ms. Schultz's historical work was most competent and readable, and also persuasive. I found it to be properly balanced, given her assignment. She reviewed the logical sources, dealing convincingly with the occasional references to goats.

  • Bringing Forestry to Texas
    In 2015 the Texas A&M Forest Service marked one hundred years of forestry in the Lone Star State. This article focuses on the agency’s first quarter-century (1915–1940), its visionary founder W. Goodrich Jones, and the first two state foresters—John H. Foster and Eric O. Siecke—who were responsible for laying a solid foundation. Bringing Forestry to Texas THE FIRST QUARTER-CENTURY OF THE TEXAS A&M FOREST SERVICE s the nineteenth century was coming to a close, the virgin forests of longleaf pine in East Texas were rapidly disappearing. Most had been felled in fifty- A plus years of cut-out-and-get-out lumbering. Extensive acreages of stumps, burned-over landscapes, and streams filled with silt provided testimony to careless logging practices, frequent unsuppressed wildfires, and Getting Arbor Day on the calendar was a relatively easy job. lack of reforestation. It was the story of America’s forests, this Bringing forestry to Texas proved more difficult for Jones. In 1899, time playing out in the Lone Star State. at the urging of Bernhard E.

  • Timber for the Comstock
    In October 2008, the Society of American Foresters will hold its convention in Reno, Nevada. Attendees can visit nearby Virginia City, the home of America’s first major “silver rush,” the Comstock Lode. Virginia City was built over one of North America’s largest silver deposits and a “forest of underground timbers.” Demand for timber was satisfied by the large forest at the upper elevations of the Sierra Nevada, especially around Lake Tahoe. After discussing historical background, this article offers a short forest history tour based on Nevada historical markers and highlighting Lake Tahoe logging history. TIMBER FOR THE COMSTOCK old was discovered in western Nevada around 1850 by prospectors on their way to California. In early 1859, James Finney and a small group of G prospectors discovered the first indications of silver ore near present-day Virginia City. Later that year other prospectors located the ledge of a major gold lode. Fellow prospector Henry Comstock claimed the ledge Over the next twenty years, the 21⁄2-mile deposit of high-grade as being on his property and soon gained an interest in the area, ore would produce nearly $400 million in silver and gold, create and the strike became known as the Comstock Lode.
