In this Folkways volume, the redwoods have been given the main place, but they are quite properly followed by substansial attention to the big surrounding lava region under which no telling ho many redwood forests are buried, and with which the redwood country is connected in modern life in a thousand ways. From a little north of the California line, the main redwood belt of today, in forest density or frequent groves, extends as the crow flies through three degrees of latitutde, or roughly as man travels about two hundred and fifty miles and hardly ever being more than thirty-five miles wide. It goes on archipelago-like to Mt. Tamalpais, Cahill Ridge and Santa Cruz.
