"Anyone who would understand America's forests and, indeed, America should read this fascinating book. Frederick Weyerhaeuser is as important a part of America's forest past and present as Schenck, Pinchot, and Leopold."
John C. Gordon, Pinchot Professor Emeritus and former dean, Yale School of ForeStry and Environmental Studies
"Nearly a century after his death, Frederick Weyerhaeuser finally receives the biography he richly deserves. Drawing from recently discovered documents, Judith Koll Healey shows us why this visionary's business and personal lives were so closely intertwined and why that matters, why he was deeply respected by business associates and rivals alike, and why his legacy continues to shape the timber industry today."
James G. Lewis, author of The Forest Service and the Greatest Good: A Centennial History
