About the author

Very little biographical information could be confirmed about this author during research, beyond the name Cyril Bertram Webster and a birth year of 1898.

He is credited as C. B. Webster alongside W. R. Mattoon and John A. Haislet on Forest Trees of Texas: How to Know Them, a practical guide to tree identification and forestry in Texas. That connection suggests he was involved in educational or technical writing aimed at readers who wanted clear, usable information about the natural world.

Because reliable published sources on his life appear to be scarce, many personal details remain uncertain. Even so, his surviving bibliographic record points to a writer whose work contributed to making forestry knowledge more accessible to general readers and field users.
