Hide Profile

Inman F. "Cap" Eldredge graduated from the Biltmore Forest School in 1905 and entered the U.S. Forest Service as a student assistant. In 1909 he was appointed supervisor of the newly created Choctawhatchee and Ocala national forests in Florida, which he organized and managed for eight years. He served as a captain in the 10th Engineers (forestry) in France during World War I. Eldredge returned to the Forest Service after the war and was promoted to chief of the Division of Timber Management in the Eastern region, and subsequently became forest inspector of management and timber sales on all national forests. He interrupted his Forest Service career in 1926 to become manager of the Suwanee Forest in southeastern Georgia. Six years later, Eldredge returned to the Forest Service as regional director of the forest survey of the South at the Southern Forest Experiment Station in New Orleans. He retired from the Forest Service in 1944 but continued to work in the forestry profession as a private consultant.
