Abstract

This is one of a series of films produced for The Champion Paper and Fibre Company. The film intertwines the history of paper production, forest protection, and pulp production with the history of the Harrison family. Also in the film, the U.S Government turns the last acres of virgin spruce trees into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The film explains how a pulp and paper mill began to successfully use pine trees for production. The mill has deep roots in the foundation of forest preservation, as well as the realization of a family of foresters who ultimately fulfill the American dream.
