It sounds like J J Alford had that it abundance in 1883. I hope some of that still survives.Colleen G.

They needed roads and school houses and hoped for more farm cottages. We assume we have enough roads and homes and hope for green space for those beautiful pines to grow.

In 1883 they eager for progress: improved roads, buildings, public services, etc. Now that we have those, we --well, I, at least-- wish for more trees. The pines sound beautiful. When I think of pines in the southern states, I think of short, scrubby ones. I'm glad to know I am wrong.
