Excerpt from Notes on the Red Cedar
The Red Cedar is one of the most widely distributed of our forest trees. It is, however, only upon comparatively small areas, confined to the southeastern part of the United States, that it is of the quality required for the purposes for which the wood is most highly esteemed. Its durability, coupled with other characteristics, has made it almost indispensable for certain uses. No wood is more frequently in the hands of civilized man of every station of life than the Red Cedar of his lead pencil.
