''Notes On The Taxodium Distichium, Or Bald Cypress: On The Original Connection Of The Eastern And Western Coalfields Of The Ohio Valley'' is a book written by Nathaniel Southgate Shaler in 1887. The book explores the bald cypress tree, also known as Taxodium distichium, and its significance in the geological history of the Ohio Valley region. Shaler discusses the tree’s ability to grow in swampy environments and its role in the formation of coal deposits. He also examines the geological connections between the eastern and western coalfields of the Ohio Valley, and how they were formed over millions of years. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the geology and natural history of the Ohio Valley region, as well as the bald cypress tree and its ecological significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
