Scope and Content Note

The R. C. Bryant silviculture notebook and materials consists of an 1899 notebook with handwritten notes and with a typed page titled, "Knowledge from the field of timberphysics desirable to silviculture," taped inside. In addition, there are photocopies of a silviculture study sheet and examination. These materials likely belonged to Bryant's son, Ralph Clement Bryant (1913 -1994).
