Redwood Tree

This is a redwood tree ready to be felled. No chainsaws then. Most likely Humbolt [or would that be Humboldt, with a D?] County, California.

All along the coast

mid to late 1800s is good guess. Could actually be anywhere along the California coast between the Oregon border and Santa Cruz. Looks like it might be a drier redwood site - no ferns visible. Trees aren't real giants. Great piece of logging history, though.

Location

Looks like pre 20th century and could have been virtually anywhere in the redwood region from Del Norte County down to Santa Cruz.
