Weyerhaeuser family.

Frederick Weyerhaeuser, a German immigrant, began his career in the lumber business at Rock Island, Illinois, in 1858. He came to St. Paul in 1891, from where he directed a business empire that eventually stretched to the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

The history of the many Weyerhaeuser companies, and of the many Weyerhaeusers who participated in these companies, is too complex to be adequately dealt with in a short sketch.

This work includes an index and several appendices listing associated companies' officers.
