  • In 1900, lumberman Jim Fallon (Kirk Douglas) greedily eyes the big sequoia redwood trees in the virgin region of northern California. The land is already settled by, among others, a religious group led by Elder Bixby (Charles Meredith) who have a religious relationship with the redwoods and refuse to log them, using other smaller trees for lumber. Jim becomes infatuated with Bixby's daughter, Alicia (Eve Miller), though that does not change his plan to cheat the homesteaders. When Jim's right-hand man, Yukon Burns (Edgar Buchanan) finds out, he changes sides and leads the locals in resisting Jim. The locals combat Jim's loggers with a sympathetic judge with Jim fighting back by using Federal laws.
    Elder Bixby is killed when a big sequoia tree is chopped down by Jim's men and falls on his cabin. Jim's desperate attempt to rescue Alicia's father saves him from being convicted of murder. Meanwhile, timber rival Cleve Gregg (Harry Cording) appears on the scene, making it a three-way fight. Gregg and his partner Frenchy LeCroix (John Archer) try to assassinate Jim, but end up killing Yukon instead. Jim has a dramatic change of heart and leads the settlers in defeating Gregg and Frenchy. Afterwards, Jim marries Alicia and settles down.

    Its utterly amazing that the mountain ash eucalyptus trees of Tasmania grow as tall as redwoods and sequoia trees in only 400 years and redwoods grow rapidly. In New Zealand the preferred timber tree is Monterey Pine trees. Without wind they grow straight and fast.

    The problem with cutting the redwoods was discovered quite quickly. When they hit the ground they splintered into shingles, which was all they were good for. The wood simply could not be made into boards for building. That's why so many of those old trees survive, they stopped cutting them.

    • @treesonstumps
      @treesonstumps 5 лет назад +7

      You need to research a bit more before believing your own words there, which are completely false. The old growth Redwood was so saught after because it is extremely strong, the houses built here in Mendocino with it are the ones still standing a hundred years later, the best shingles, no bug or pest can chew through it's density.

      That strikes me as funny because Pacific Lumber Company would have went out of business quickly if that was the case. The only reason they went out of business because of the Spotted Owl craziness. I know I am from Humboldt County.

    It is the giant Sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) that are only good for fence posts. Coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) is one of the greatest woods in the world. Can't fault Michael Fleming for being a little confused.
