About the author
Born in 1878, Edward Gheen Cheyney was an American forester, author, and professor associated with the University of Minnesota. Sources consistently identify him as an important early figure in forestry education, and a 1947 University of Minnesota dedication praised his more than forty years of service to the development of forestry in Minnesota and at the university.
Cheyney wrote both nonfiction and fiction. His books include The Farm Woodlot, a handbook on forestry for farmers and agriculture students, and American Silvics and Silviculture. He also wrote novels such as Scott Burton, Forester and Scott Burton on the Range, bringing forestry and outdoor life into story form for general readers.
He died in 1950. While reliable sources confirm his career and publications, I could not confirm a suitable verified portrait image from the pages reviewed, so no profile image is included here.
