From the text...'The pristine forests of the Sierra Nevada have been drastically changed by white man's activities during the first century following settlement. It is difficult at the present time to determine the exact nature of the pristine forests. There are, however, enough early writings and abundant evidence still remaining to draw some basic conclusions regarding their general nature which are pertinent to an understanding of present-day problems of forest management.'
