Which statement best describes the point Muir is
making in the passage?
In the course of my explorations twenty-five years ago, I
found five sawmills located on or near the lower margin
of the Sequoia belt, all of which were cutting more or less
Big Tree lumber, which looks like the redwood of the
coast, and was sold as redwood. One of the smallest of
these mills in the season of 1874 sawed two million feet of
Sequoia lumber.
