INTERESTING FACT

White Pine forests played a major role in early American 19th century westward expansion. Its wood was common and easy to cut making it ideal for colonial homes (e.g. paneling, floors, furniture, etc.). Even so, George Washington opted for the much harder southern yellow pine at Mt. Vernon because the white pine tended to cup when used as flooring.
