Jon Townsend reads more of William Knowlin's descriptions of growing up in frontier Michigan. Main Channel - / @townsends Retail Website - www.townsends.us/
Thanks, Jon. I very much enjoyed this particular reading. I've had a number of "important" or significant trees in my life that are still treasured in my memory. I have a large oak right behind my house that worries me because it's too big and too close ... but is one that I do not want to lose. Losing it would definitely change "my" environment!
When we were driving through Indiana, we noticed you all have the prettiest evergreen trees. It was like Christmastown. We in Tennessee have loads of trees, but our pines are so skimpy that you have to zip-tie two of them together to get an ample Christmas tree.😂
He is so eloquent with his words, it’s impressive. I live in the PNW with 6 acres, 4 of which are trees! And I have never thought of them in such a way 😊
This chapter left me crying. I've always had a deep, deep love of trees. It's a feeling that, though it might be hiding inside of them, others don't really connect with. The beauty of reading primary history like this is that we can connect to the people of those times, and to feel this connection, this emotion I feel so hard to share with the people around me in my everyday, modern life, yet now I feel threading me to this man who lived generations ago, is something so powerfully moving. Absolutely incredible.

The photography is beautiful
I just wish we, people were as thoughtful of trees as our ancestors were.

Delightful prose by Mr. Knowlin...
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures and reading for live history videos

If we don't know history we repeat history

Gives you chills!
“It seemed almost wrong to cut them”
We need more people talking about 🪵! It's wholesome.
