This report contains the nature and condition of the forests of the United States, to which are added statistics of the lumber and other industries directly dependent upon the forest for their support.
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
