Eventually his holdings amounted to 130,000 acres, including Mount Pisgah (5,721 ft.), from the top of which may be seen points in South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia, as well as in North Carolina. https://www.ncpedia.org/biography/vanderbilt-george  ]]> 2018-02-01 17:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dbarrett4/i7fb9avc5v2q/wish/227161457 https://padlet.com/dbarrett4/i7fb9avc5v2q/wish/227164103 Vanderbilt hired an attorney to begin buying tracts of land for the estate.

During those years the estate netted about $870,000. Vanderbilt directed that weak and undesirable trees be removed first and that after an area had been selectively cut over, new trees be planted. Forests were to be "managed" and kept in constant production. He maintained that "private ownership of any resource necessary to the general welfare carries with it the moral obligation of faithful stewardship to the public." He stressed that he had "stuck to forestry from the beginning and I shall not forsake it now. For me to impair the future usefulness of Pisgah Forest in order to somewhat increase present revenues, would be bad business policy. But apart from that, it would be bad citizenship, as I see it, no man is a good citizen who destroys for selfish ends a good forest."
