Hi Jeremy,
I'm not sure what you are after here- what type of wood is it that is  
native to the Northeast?  What part of the 19th century are you  
thinking about?  You've probably already learned that major timbering  
company activities moved out of New England very early and turned to  
western New York and then the Great Lakes region.  You'll need to  
give a bit more focus to what you mean by Northeast.  What species of  
wood are you looking at?
Cheers,
Tim
