Summary

Description
English: A major forest product of Big Sur coast was the bark of tan bark oak trees. The bark, high in tannic acid, was used to cure leather. After the trees were felled, the bark was stripped from the trunks, dried, and then packed out via mule or sleds, called "go-devils" or on wagons.
