. Bulletin (Pennsylvania Department of Forestry), no. 31-33. Forests and forestry. 54 55 named for my son, and I am glad to have this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for this great honor to his memory. Nothing could be more pleasing to Alan than such a memorial, because it was always his great joy to take long walks in the forests and over hill and dale in Mexico and in France, as well as in our own ; This Monument, including about 155 acres, is sit- uated along Stone Creek in Huntingdon county. It can be reached from Milroy, Reedsville, and Belleville by way of Greenwood Furnace, from Huntingdon by way of McAlevy's Fort, and from Altoona by way of Alex- andria and Petersburg to McAlevy's Fort, from where one follows the road up Stone Creek Valley. A new- forest road also makes this monument accessible from-. State College by way of Bear Meadows. The nearest settlement is Greenwood Furnace, the home of a few forest workers and the headquarters of an Assistant District Forester, who now lives in the house formerly the residence of Henry Rawle, early iron master of this locality. There is also a church at Greenwood Furnace, now no longer in use, and it is said that on one occasion General Robert E. Lee worshipped there while visiting his brother, who was manager of the furnace several years prior to the Civil War. A large forest tree nursery is located at Greenwood Furnace, with an annual capacity of three million trees. On a high point between Greenwood Furnace and this monument is the Greenwood Forest Fire Observation Tower, from the top of which are available commending views of the mountains and val- leys of central Pennsylvania.
