. Bulletin (Pennsylvania Department of Forestry), no. 31-33. Forests and forestry. 52 53 ALAN SEEGER STATE FOREST MONUMENT Logan State Forest The Alan Seeger State Forest Monument is named for Alan Seeger, a young American poet who gave his life in France as did Joyce Kilmer. Alan Seeger was a great lover of nature and the author of many beauti- ful poems on trees. By a curious coincidence, after this Monument was named it was found that the land was originally owned by another Seeger family, but whether the two families were related is not known. Within this Monument are hemlock trees of unusual si^ and beauty—undoubtedly some ot them were growing here when Columbus discovered America— and there are stands of oak that have no superior in the State. Magnificent growth of rhododendrons, some with stems 40 feet high, border the streams that pass through this Monument. In the latter part of June and early July this sylvan retreat is a treat hard to excel. It is reported that rhododendron was Seeger's favorite flower. This Monument is an ideal recreation center and camping spot. Beautiful Stone Creek flows through the Monument and an excellent trail has been developed so that this beauty spot is accessible to the public. Mrs. Mary Flinn Lawrence of Pittsburgh, ardent con- servationist and member of the State Forest Commis- sion, considers the Alan Seeger State Forest Monu- ment the most beautiful recreation spot in the State Forests of Pennsylvania. C. L. Seeger, father of Alan Seeger, in a letter written from 40, Rue Du Colissee, Paris, to Colonel Henry W. Shoemaker, under date of April 9, 1923, writes that: "Our mutual friend, Mr. Moulder, has given me the two photographs which you kindly sent him and which were taken in the Alan Seeger State Park in Pennsylvania. He told me that it was due to your initiative that the park was 'Z. ALAN SEEGER. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readab
