DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Story of the Monterey PineFouris its own peninsula, where it spreads over about twenty-five square miles of territory and shares its [domain with but few other trees. The live oak is its forest companion; and many a time, when the wind is bent on havoc, a swaying pine is held securely in the arms of a neighboring oak. Other trees of the peninsula are grouped in groves - the Bishop Pine and the Gowen Cypress on Huckleberry Hill, and the Monterey Cypress at Cypress Point and Point Lobos.When Cabrillo sailed up the coast, nearly four hundred years ago, and caught sight of this untouched forest sweeping up and down the slopes almost to the rocks and sands of the shore, no wonder he called the wooded headland he was rounding Cabo de Pinos and the blue bay at its side Bahia de Pinos Any one of the seventy species of pine that are now known might readily have been recognized as pines, but this venturesome sea captain of the sixteenth century lived two or three hundred years too early to possibly suspect his discovery of a new pine.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Cypress of Monterey: An Historical Sketch Are they the remnant of a forest at one time extending farther inland, or are they the last of an army of trees that has battled for ages with the sea? The readiness with which they yield to cultivation the world over suggests that their ancestors had a wider inland range. But these native trees themselves have all the appearance of battered heroes that are holding with a primi tive force to their last few yards of earth; and asone stands at Cypress Point, 1. Looking seaward, it does not take great effort of imagination to pic ture a cypress forest spreading its vigorous, flat, green foliage miles beyond the present shore line, over areas now covered by the ocean. To aid the imagination, there-is the jagged coast that bears witness to the rough inroads of the sea, together with the fact that an isolated grove of the same trees 15 found on'the headlands'of Point Lobos, on the far side of the deep curve in the coast made by Carmel Bay.
