Timber: Loggers Challenge The Great Northwestern Forests, by Ralph W. Andrew. 182 Pages. Softbound. The photographs in this book will instantly transport the reader into the early world of logging. Here was the greatest stand of Douglas fir timber in existence and here was labor for the Poles, Finns, Swedes, and Norskies lured out of the Midwest to make lumber that helped build the West Coast cities. Ralph Andrews, the timber historian of the West, brings you some nostalgic scenes bringing you the high climbers, fallers balanced on high spring boards, rivers and salt water, early donkey engines, railroads on steep grades, logging camps as well as devastating fires.
