The American chestnut was one of America's most common, valued, and beloved trees - a 'perfect tree' that ruled the forests from Georgia to Maine. In a weave of history, science, and personal observation, this work relates the author's quest to save the tree through methods that ranged from classical plant breeding to advanced gene technology.
