Excerpt from History of Monongalia County: Being Some Pages From an Unpublished History of Monongalia County, West Virginia; The Author Hu Maxell, Died Before the Work Was Completed White pine (pinus strobus) was not abundant in the county, but a few trees existed in the more mountainous parts of the region. It was one of the best and most stately timber trees found in the eastern part of the United States, and it was of considerable importance in the main ranges of the Alleghany mountains and was plentiful in that part of Monon galia now forming Tucker county, and was some what abundant in parts of what is now Preston coun ty. It is not an abundant tree in_ any portion of West Virginia at present, but it will not be likely' to entirely disappear from the region as it is a vigorous tree and strong in fighting for its existence. It will give an account of itself if given a chance to do so, and if it is protected from forest fires that are liable to occur in its region.
