It starts by addressing the difficulties in identifying trees due to regional name variations and the use of scientific terms. The author seeks to guide the reader in learning about the various species of trees and their characteristics, names, uses, where they grow. This is done to help all people from campers, gardeners, and nature walkers become connected and develop an admiration for the diverse trees populating the landscapes of the United States and Canada.

Summary
About the AuthorDonald Culross Peattie was an American botanist, naturalist and author. He was described by Joseph Wood Krutch as "perhaps the most widely read of all contemporary American nature writers" during his heyday. His brother, Roderick Peattie (1891–1955), was a geographer and a noted author in his own right. Some have said that Peattie's views on race may be considered regressive, but that expressions of these views are "mercifully brief and hardly malicious".
