That is probably true, because back then a LOT of land was cleared to grow feed for horses--the main method of transportation. Prior to European incursion, Indians grew a lot of corn and other crops. All this land reverted to trees. When Eisenhower was president there was a big push for a "land bank" program, in which farmers were subsidized to NOT grow crops, thereby keeping the price up. All this land reverted to trees too. I've personally sampled many of them in New York and Ohio. I can't tell you the forests I've sampled that had stone fences running through them. Apple orchards and house ruins out in the middle of the woods. All this was cleared land at one point.
