	ancient forest of dean
		The Forest originally included the whole of the picturesque hill country in the angle between the Severn and the Wye, extending to Gloucester on the W. and Ross and Newent on the N.; and was even thus simply a remnant of a tract of woodland of much wider area.
		The men of the Forest were in request in the wars of the Edwards, as a sturdy and skilful race; and they displayed the same qualities whenever occasion required, though they had little to do with actual fighting within their own borders until the conflict between Charles and the Parliament.
		This Forest of Dean is located partly in the grounds of the West Point Military Academy in Orange County, some 45 miles from New York and like the UK Forest of Dean, it is also the site of an iron mine.

	Forest of Dean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The (Royal) Forest of Dean is a region in the county of Gloucestershire, England.
		The forest is steeped in history, and the area was settled by the Romans who used the natural resources of the area, including iron ore and charcoal.
		Later, the forest was used exclusively as Royal hunting grounds by the Tudor Kings (see royal forest), but its rich deposits of iron ore led to it becoming a major source of iron at this time.
