The Last Stand: The War Between Wall Street and Main Street over California's Ancient Redwoods

By chronicling the takeover of Pacific Lumber Company--which had been operated by one family since 1904 before being sold to a Texas-based conglomerate--Harris gives readers a metaphor for the disappearance of a gentler, kinder capitalism. The Last Stand is a book about how some people, often against their will, end by killing the very thing--the forest itself--that has long given them sustenance and shelter.David Harris is the author of 'The Last Stand: The War Between Wall Street and Main Street over California's Ancient Redwoods', published 1995 under ISBN 9780812925777 and ISBN 0812925777.
