Bill Cardigan is a lifetime resident of California's Tall Timber country, so when evil land-baron Howard Fallon arrives with a team of lumberjacks to strip the territory of its trees, Cardigan tries to stop them -- only to discover that Fallon has the law on his side. Eventually, Cardigan finds an unexpected ally in the form of saloon girl Lee Roberts, and the conflict rises to a new level.
Peter B. Kyne (12 October 1880 – 25 November 1957) was an American novelist who wrote between 1904 and 1940. Many of his works were adapted into screenplays starting in the silent era, particularly his first novel, The Three Godfathers, which was published in 1913 and proved to be a huge success. He is credited in 110 films between 1914 and 1952.
When still under 18, he lied about his age and enlisted in Company L, 14th U.S. Infantry, which served in the Philippines from 1898-1899. The Spanish-American War and the following insurrection of General Emilio Aguinaldo provided background for many of Kyne's later stories.[1] During World War I, he served as a captain in Battery A of the 144th field Artillery, known as the California Grizzlies.
”There's an old wooden sign in the park [Sequoia Park in Eureka, California] with a quote from Peter B. Kyne's book 'The Valley of the Giants,' that says, 'I'm not going to cut the timber in this valley. I haven't the heart to destroy God's most wonderful handiwork. 'Twas in her mind to give her Valley of the Giants to Sequoia (Eureka) for a city park.' I wanted to know who 'she' was,” Armand said.
”She” was the fictional character in Kyne's Humboldt-inspired book, “The Valley of the Giants,” wherein a timber baron's wife's wish of saving a favorite stand of redwoods and creating a park in the middle of a city is made possible by her husband after her death
