The diaries of Thomas Cole have been underappreciated by environmental historians. Take, for example, his eloquent entry about the significance of trees in his life: “Treading the mosses of the forest, my attention has often been attracted by the appearance of action and expression in trees. I have been led to reflect upon the fine effects they produce, and to look into the causes. They spring from some resemblance to man…. Exposed to adversity and agitations, they battle for existence or supremacy. On the mountain, exposed to the blasts, trees grasp the crags with their gnarled roots, and struggle with the elements with wild contortions.” In Rev. Louis L. Noble, The Life and Works of Thomas Cole (New York: Cornish, Lamport, 1853), pp. 125–126.
