How an Uneducated Woodsman Can Determine the Height of a Tree
A North woods axman solves height by laying a 60 foot reference pole, lying on his back with his head at the ground, and sighting over the pole to the tree to estimate 60 feet. The method, though not precise, saves time and illustrates practical knowledge over theory. Also noted are medicinal vegetables, duckskins that shrink, and related anecdotes from 19th century periodicals.
