Great history, storytelling, and photos. Nice to see McPhee's Survival of the Birch Bark Canoe included--excellent source, as is anything from McPhee. Your description of the yellow birch's "uncanny ability to take root on bare ground or even rock, resulting in a root system that looks like an ogre’s hand grabbing a boulder" was vivid. Thank you for writing and I look forward to Pt. II.
