Kris,

In the early-mid 19th century, before leather tanners in New York and
Pennsylvania realized that there could be profits realized from denuded
hemlock trunks stripped for tanbark, entire mountainsides were left
deforested and littered with rotting hemlock trees. They made quite a
memorable landscape feature. If you would like more information on this, let
me know.
