| Summary |
"Trees of Indiana" by Charles Clemon Deam is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to the various tree species found in Indiana, including their botanical descriptions, distribution, and ecological significance. Likely aimed at educators, students, and tree enthusiasts, it emphasizes both the identification and understanding of the state's rich arboreal diversity. The opening of the work establishes its context and significance, noting the demand for a revised edition after the original publication in 1911. The preface outlines the contributors and their credentials, highlighting the book's educational utility, particularly for school teachers in Indiana. Deam details the approach taken in the revision, which emphasizes clear botanical descriptions derived from extensive field research across the state. This opening section sets the stage for a detailed examination of Indiana's native and introduced tree species, focusing on their characteristics, habitats, and ecological roles.
