"California Redwood Park Commissioners put forth this booklet, for the double purpose of conveying to the people of the State a better knowledge and a keener appreciation of the State's forest reservation, and also to impress upon the people the importance of securing for State ownership the entire area of the Big Basin." (from Wikipedia) and "At the time, logging of the coast redwoods was moving at a frantic pace to meet the demand for redwood lumber to build the new towns and cities of a booming California. Concerned that the redwood trees of the Santa Cruz Mountains would be lost forever, Hill, with the help of Stanford University's President David Starr Jordan, convened a meeting of scientists and other influential people at the Stanford University Library to discuss what could be done to protect the redwoods. At this meeting, a surveying committee was appointed, headed by Hill and Carrie Stevens Walter from the San Jose Woman's Club. They went camping along the banks of Sempervirens Creek in what is now Big Basin Redwoods State Park and then there formed the Sempervirens Club. The Club committed to lobby for the protection of the redwoods and for the creation of a public park at Big Basin. They passed a hat, collected $32 to finance their efforts, and launched a fundraising and lobbying campaign to achieve their goal. " (from Wikipedia).

8vo. [10], 130 pp., printed in green & sepia throughout. Sepia-tinted frontisp., 13 sepia-tinted photo illustrations, decorated initials, green illustrated borders. Gray-embossed softcovers, raised dark brown lettering on front cover, yapp edges (minor creasing & wear, minor scuffing, minor chipping w/ small loss to foot of spine), still VG- copy. First edition of this unusually scarce conservation work detailing the history and steps taken by the Sempervirens Club members and Redwood Park commissioners to preserve the old growth Redwoods of Big Basin in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The Sempervirens Park Club supporters had actively campaigned against great opposition by logging companies, and industrialists in their quest to save the Calaveras trees, so after Laura White assumed the presidency of the Sempervirens in 1902, she enlisted Phoebe Hearst to bankroll the drive to save Big Basin, and helped secure State Park Status with bill passed and signed by Governor Gage. An entire chapter is devoted to the "Rape of the Redwoods" in which the group discovered that the California Forester G.B. Lull had ordered logging and destruction of Redwoods still alive despite recent forest fire, and only after protests led by George Wharton James, and Grand Jury under Holohan stopped the logging, and removed the Park from the State Board of Forestry, and returned it to the hands of the non-profit Redwood Park Commission. The photographs in the piece are credited to Andrew Putnam Hill (1853-1922) noted San Jose artist & photographer credited with saving the old growth Redwoods; Robert Appleby (1868-1948), Santa Cruz painter, school janitor, and photographer whose Santa Cruz studio endured through the Great Depression and World War II; and Clark P. Streator (1866-1952), noted ornithologist, photographer, and owner of Express Wagon company which transported tourists into the Park. See: Sempervirens Club and A.P.
