About this product

Product Information

When a shattered kayak and camping gear are found on an uninhabited island, they reignite a mystery surrounding a shocking act of protest. Five months earlier, logger-turned-activist Grant Hadwin had plunged naked into a river in British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands, towing a chainsaw. When his night's work was done, a unique Sitka spruce, 165 feet tall and covered with luminous golden needles, teetered on its stump. Two days later it fell. The tree, a fascinating puzzle to scientists, was sacred to the Haida, a fierce seafaring tribe based in the Queen Charlottes. Vaillant recounts the bloody history of the Haida and the early fur trade, and provides harrowing details of the logging industry, whose omnivorous violence would claim both Hadwin and the golden spruce.

    True story of man vs man vs nature.

    Very interesting view of the last 400 years of mans invasion of the North American west coast: prepares reader for the strange but true demise of a legendary 175 foot Sitka spruce.This 300 year old tree that has puzzeled scientists for years is the focus of world wide attention in the late 90s, when myth meets madness and greed!

    Golden Spruce

    A wonderful non-fiction about logging, a beautiful tree, some history of the Haida tribe, and a sad event. The book is in beautiful condition!
