I am the world's oldest-known living tree

While traveling north on California Highway 395 in the summer of 1996 with his young daughter and niece, Gil Thibault discovered the Bristlecone Pine National Forest from just a small road sign in Big Pine, California. He was amazed by the special beauty, architecture, and longevity of the trees. His desire to write a book about the Bristlecone Pines stayed subdued, but never went extinct. Finally, in 2010, after years of dreams and recurrent thoughts, he decided to write this book, a two-year labor of love. This is a friendly and informative guide to the unbelievable beauty and scientific value of the Bristlecone Pines of the White Mountains in central California.
