Young Whitener, 10, said the

work. 1t will get its first test

how such devices work but not

The Prehistoric Pine

BY W. w. PRICE

Mans urge to change the face Of
his surroundings, that he may sat
isfy both his wants and needs,
sometimes results in destruction
of clues to prehistory. This is hap
pening in a small way in a swamp
northwest of Oakland, astridc the
Garrett County Maryland-Preston
County, West Virginia line, within
sight of the village Of GAINESVILLE
Maps list this swamp as Pine
Swamp. Scientists refer to it as

if they want to preserve this unique
northern island" located in a
southern latitude, to offer the land
owners a fair price for the swamp
area. If ! owned the swamp, or
part of it, | would consider fifty
dollars $500 per acre, with reser-
vations of fenced water lanes for
my stock, something like reason
able. One must remember that the
landowner can harvest excellent
hemlock lumber from the swamp
and this is what they will likely
proceed to do.
The question of: How old is the
swamp, was logically answered
through research conducted on
such an area Just few miles to
the south in West Virginia. The
research consisted in studying
muck. taken from the alluVial de-
post, under the microscope. In
such muck, Professor G.. Evelyn

us completely ignore:
The GAINESVILLE Pine Swamp,
montana bog that straddles the
Garrett County, Maryland-Preston
County, West Virginia line, is one
of the least known and most fas-
cinating natural habitats in the
Middle Atlantic states. Located on
the Allegheny Plateau in the APP
palachian province, this area is
the southernmost point in the dis
tribution of the American larch, or
tamarack, Lark laricina). OF ev-
en- greater interest is its classifi-
cation as part of the Canadian BIZ
otto Province, a life zone charac-
teristically inhabited by plants and
animals of the bOrcal, or northern
regions"
The late DR.. Harmed, naturalist
and author, of Oakland, Maryland,
recognized the unusual botanical
and biological nature of Cranes
Vile Pine Swamp. He often cX-
pressed concern that time and man
would destroy its natural state. 1t
is my opinion that the swamp will
be destroyed. One of the landoWn-
ers, who owns part of the five
hundred acres considered to COM
prise the swamp, was approached
by representative of State Uni
versity and offered five dollars per
acre for that part of the swamp
the man owns. The land is assessed
at eight dollars per acre. 1t would
seem necessary for scientists, and

axis with relation to the sun, and
the great sheet of ice melted.
Among other countless physical
changes left from this Age of Ice,
deposit Of alluvial soil remained
in what is now the place we call
GAINESVILLE Pine Swamp.
There were two other like de
posits in what is now Garrett coun-
ty One of them was near Wolf Gap
in Finzel community, and the other
near what is now Thaycrville area.
The two latter sWamps have been
changed by mans activity and rep

years, or five hundred, or five

identified pollen grains from a pre-
historic tree that had been pre-
served. The estimate of the geo
logical age of the formation was
$500 B. c. Professor Hutchinson
is micropaleobotanist-scientist
investigating the invisible forms
of plant life first appearing in the
ancient, or postglacial, epoch of
soil formation. According to the
reasoning of such researchers, the
GAINESVILLE Pine Swamp first pre-
scented plant life in the form of
MOSES and lichens. This phase was
followed by the growth of a giant
spruce-fir forest. Some of the char
acteristics of this tree growth have
carried some evidence into our
own time.
The GAINESVILLE Pine Swamp is
considered one phase of the
"Glades' of Garrett County. We
learn that George Gibbs published
one of the first good descriptions
