The American Chestnut was once the most important and valuable tree in eastern North America. Now, it is nearly extinct. This is the story of how an invasive species killed off this special tree, and in the process helped exterminate self-sufficient agrarian life in Appalachia:

The American chestnut allowed farmers to raise livestock at virtually no cost for many months out of the year by applying one of the earliest forms of silvopasture in America. By having chestnut trees, rural people had money and meat on the table for centuries.

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" would produce a delightful aroma that spread through the hills. In the 1800s to early 1900s, you could hardly walk through Appalachian hollows in the fall and winter without smelling chestnuts baking in people's homes.

The earliest use of the chestnut was probably as a fencing wood - few woods split easier and straighter while being as light and durable. Early colonial settlers built "Virginia rail fences" out of chestnut, which required no posts and lasted a life time.

Hogs were easy to raise in the mountains as they were sent to roam free in the woods to feast on the abundance of chestnuts littering the forest floor. "Mountain pork", which had a special flavor from their chestnut diet, became a highly sought after commodity.

Spreading at an astounding rate of 50 miles/year, it only took ~30 years to eradicate most of the American chestnuts in the eastern U.S. -- approximately 4 billion chestnut trees were killed by the late 1930s. This photo (date unknown) shows a chestnut grove devastated by blight.

Lastly, and perhaps most interestingly, bears are often observed sitting still for long periods of time looking out at vistas or sunsets. While incredibly common, it has no scientific "explanation" -- beyond the idea that they may simply appreciate beauty, much like we do.

Life without chestnuts was almost unthinkable; the tree had been so deeply connected to life in Appalachia for centuries. No longer able to raise hogs and cattle in the woods or gather chestnuts for sale, rural people increasingly looked to the urban center for salvation.

In the years since, biologists and foresters have been attempting to cross-breed and modify the chestnut to improve its resistance to the blight. Many of these projects were abandoned by the 1960s, but some still remain today.

When chestnuts began dying off in large droves, many locals thought the entire ecosystem was dying. In a way, they were right. Turkeys began disappearing, and squirrel numbers decreased to a tenth of what they were before. Black bears never seemed to get as fat as they used to.

Around the turn of the 20th century, an invasive pest known as the "chestnut blight" was introduced to American chestnut trees in New York City through shipments of Chinese chestnuts from East Asia. It spread rapidly, as the American chestnut had no resistance to the pest.

It became much more difficult to maintain a self-sufficient, agrarian life in the mountains. As industrialization rapidly expanded, the death of the chestnut seemed to extinguish mountain folks' last hope at maintaining life as they had known it for four centuries.

Farmers and woodlot owners were encouraged to harvest their remaining chestnut trees quickly, as their value decreased rapidly upon deterioration. This may have sped up the extinction process, as trees with a small amount of blight resistance may have been killed off.
