		George Forrest bought 300 acres of land, on part of which the city of Kittanning, Penn., now stands, intending to settle there, but the country proved to be so wild he sold it before going to Canonsburg.

	George Forrest (1873 - 1932) - PlantExplorers.com™
		George Forrest was a remarkably productive plant collector and explorer, who made seven major expeditions and introduced hundreds of species to western cultivation, but we are denied his own accounting of how this was done, as he never found the time to write his story down.
		1873, George Forrest was educated at Kilmarnock Academy and was later Apprenticed to a local chemist, where he learned about the medicinal properties and uses of many different plants, and also learned about the drying and preserving of herbarium specimens.
		However, the result was that George Forrest barely escaped with his life, travelling by night and hiding by day, enduring near starvation while dodging hunting parties scouring the countryside for victims.
