The Forest is a novel written by J. V. Huntington and published in 1852. The story is set in the wilderness of northern Michigan and follows the lives of two families, the Maitlands and the Lindsays, as they struggle to survive in the harsh and unforgiving environment.

He falls in love with Alice Lindsay, the daughter of a wealthy landowner who has come to the area to exploit its natural resources. As the two families become entangled in a bitter dispute over land rights and logging practices, John and Alice must navigate the complex social and economic forces at play while trying to preserve the natural beauty of the forest.
