Allegheny SAF 75-Year History

To the poor and oppressed who came from Europe the new land of America was blessed with wealth beyond belief: of rich soil, streams teeming with fish and forest with game, timber for their homes and fireplaces, iron for their forges and copper for their utensils. No wonder they risked their lives to journey to this Canaan; here was the Promised Land.

So begins The First Fifty Years by J. Bernard Hogg, as it opens the telling of the Allegheny Society of American Foresters first 75-years. The Allegheny Society of American Foresters: A Seventy-Five Year History 1922-1997, tells of where we have been and perhaps where we are going, at least from a 1997 perspective. Ron Sheay continues the trek with his The Next Twenty Five Years.
