Forstliche Reisebilder aus Nord-Amerika. By von der Heyde, 

 Kgl. Preuss. Forstassessor. 



Notes of a railway journey across the continent from San 

 Francisco to New York and Washington. The Yosemite and 

 Yellowstone National Parks were visited but elsewhere few stops 

 were made in this apparently hurried tour. One of the most 

 striking scenes and one that left the deepest impression on the 

 author's mind was the desolate country in the track of forest 

 fires through Washington, Idaho and Montana, the very regions 

 in which he had expected to find heavy virgin forests.
