"This is a story of a generation, the sons and daughters of Frederick Weyerhaeuser, a German immigrant who arrived in the United States in the summer of 1852. For many years Rock Island, Illinois, was home to the Weyerhaeusers, father Frederick gradually assuming patriarchal status, and, in some respects, becoming father to the lumber industry in the upper Mississippi Valley as well. This study of the Weyerhaeusers focuses upon the more personal side of family rather than the business side, but in fact the two were inseperable." --Jacket. | Lumber trade, Paper manufacturing; paper mills in the United States, United States, Weyerhaeuser family, Weyerhaeuser | **Somewhat heavy.
