I found the Greenberg book on Amazon and ordered it along with another called "A Message From Martha". Martha was the last of the species which died at the Cincinnati zoo...Geo

I have a suspicion it wasn't market hunting, but the total loss of the American Chestnut forests due to blight. Gil, you saw some clear-cutting I've done up at the farm. I'm planning to replant some of it in Dunstan Hybrid Chestnuts. That's the closest thing we've got to the true American Chestnut. Maybe we'll live long enough to roast some chestnuts at Christmas!
