Andrew Ellicott Douglass and the Giant Sequoias in the Founding of Dendrochronology

The Giant Sequoia played several crucial roles in the founding of the modern science of tree-ring dating. These included at least two central theoretical constructs and at least two minor ones; however, historical studies of dendrochronology are actively continuing and this list is expected to expan...
