Gibson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work provides a comprehensive exploration of the major species of forest trees in the United States, including their characteristics, uses, and commercial importance. Specifically, it aims to be a practical guide that presents clear and accessible descriptions of trees as they grow in forests and the wood as it is utilized in various industries. The opening of the text establishes the foundation of the work by detailing its origin as a series of articles published in Hardwood Record from 1905 to 1913. The author emphasizes the practical intent of the compilation, which aims to describe over one hundred leading species of trees that are crucial sources of lumber in the U.S. The introduction discusses the classification of species into hardwoods and softwoods, the properties of different woods, and basic tree biology, laying the groundwork for the more detailed analysis of individual tree species that is expected to follow in later sections. Overall, the beginning serves to prepare readers for a detailed examination of U.S. forest trees and their multifaceted roles in ecology and industry.
