the lower portions of the great Kanawha (New River), the Big Sandy near where these rivers 
empty into the Ohio may be mentioned the following enumeration of trees on a tract of land

16,989 trees, or an average of twenty-six large timber-trees to the acre were growing on the 
655 acres. Of these 1986 were Quercus alba, 5886 were Q. Prinus, 1100 were Q 
tinctoria,
