Trees by Allen J Coombes
The Trees is the story of an American family in the wilderness--a family that followed the woods as some families follow the sea. The time is the end of the 18th century, the wilderness is the land west of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio River. But principally, The Trees is the story of a girl named Sayward, eldest daughter of Worth and Jary Luckett, raised in the forest far from the rest of humankind, yet growing to realize that the way of the hunter must cede to the way of the tiller of soil.Allen J.Coombes is a botanist at the Universidad Botanic Garden in Puebla, Mexico, where he is curator of scientific collections. He was a member of the Horticultural Taxonomy Group and worked for the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Hampshire, England, and wrote extensively on trees and plants.
