The story of a Sequoia tree named Wawona—from the time, before recorded history, when he was a little seed packed tightly in a cone with two hundred others, until comparatively recently when, over three hundred feet tall and having survived magnificently the widely varied attacks of enemies through twenty-five centuries, he comes near falling prey to the greediest and most clever of them all—man.

The author-artists have had the interesting idea of inserting interleaves which give the history of Sequoias, while the main body of the text carries the thrilling story of Wawona himself. Beautifully illustrated in duotone.
