Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Forest: Or Uncle Philip's Conversations With the Children About the Trees of America
Ah, boys, I hope you will live to know a great deal more than I can teach you. When I was a boy, it was not so easy to learn as it is now; there were not so many schools, and people did not think so much about giving their children a good education, and more than all this, there' were not a quarter so many good books written and printed for young folks as there are now. But seat your selves here in the shade, and I will try to think of something useful to talk about, with you.
