MacCleery recounts how settlers removed much of the American forest for agriculture and commerce during the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, though, demographic changes and an emerging conservation movement helped reduce wildfire and encourage reforestation. Today there is more forestland in the U.S. than there was 75 years ago.MacCleery, Douglas W. is the author of 'American Forests A History of Resiliency and Recovery' with ISBN 9780890300480 and ISBN 0890300488.
