Beschreibung

"Trees are not just natural resources; they are also cultural ones that present unique challenges and opportunities for public historians and local preservation activities. Trees can serve as important objects of memory, recalling past triumphs or tragedies. They can also be the last living witness to important events or community memories. But they are living entities and therefore defy the kind of preservation applicable to buildings and other inanimate historical objects. Their inherent organic fragility can also create significant problems for historical sites; storm and fire damage, intensified by climate-change, highlight the ways that trees-however historical or beloved-can become considerable threats. The fourteen new, previously unpublished essays in this fascinating volume explore the many ways that trees are an integral part of public history practice and sites. The authors draw on a range of approaches and historiographies to look at how memories of race-based hate, patriotic stories, community identities, and changed places all have centered on trees"--
