| As told
by Lee Nelson White Deer |
Gathering Eucalyptus
Indians made the trip to California
from Minnesota for Eucalyptus. Twenty-five
to thirty men would take two
years. The best is Iron from Ceylon
and Mozambique. The bark is brown,
appearing shredded, but it doesn't
peel or shred. But all eucalyptus
will work.
