5.0 out of 5 stars Great book.
I have been selling and working on chain saws for over 60 years. I think it is a great book.
5.0 out of 5 stars I have a Heritage in Logging, and this book hits the nail on the head!
I lost my hard bound version, but this book is just as good! Both my Father and Great Grand Fathers were loggers in Grays Harbor, and were known for their abilities to the Simpson-Poulson logging companies. I have a photo of my Great Grandfather standing at the base of a nine foot diameter Douglas Fir tree with all his logging buddies hanging, standing and chained to this monster tree, although it was a small one back in the 1920's! Back then it was all OLD GROWTH trees! I remember seeing a ten foot first cut log, on the trailer of a logging truck, back in 1960, rolling through Aberdeen on it's way to the lumber mill! THOSE WERE THE DAYS!This book covers it all! And I highly recommend anybody with an axe and chain saw to look into what logging was like, back when your Great Grand Parents were in their prime! And I mean between 1910 and 1930.
5.0 out of 5 stars Another modeling resource?
This is a wonderfully well researched history backed by hundreds of way cool B and W photographs!My primary use is a reference of specific methods, or machines used in pre-50s logging, to be entertainedFor my outdoor logging dioramas.The book is well written, and from THIS reader, very much appreciated and enjoyed!Thanks!

Schöne, interessante Geschichten wahrer Begebenheiten über die amerikanische Holzindustrie und allen, die damit zu tun hatten.
Wer sich für die Geschichte der amerikanischen Holzindustrie und für kuriose, unterhaltsame Begebenheiten aus diesem Milieu interessiert, der ist hier gut aufgehoben. Man erfährt hautnah das Innenleben dieses Industriezweiges. Man lernt die Menschen kennen, die damit ihr Geld verdient haben. Nebenbei enthält das Buch viele Informationen über die angewandten Techniken inklusive der "amerikanischen Hemdsärmeligkeit", die uns Europäer doch immer wieder staunen lässt.Das Titelbild zeigt einen Highclimber, der sich auf den langen Weg bis in etwa 30 bis 40 Meter über dem Erdboden macht, um mit seiner Axt und seiner Säge den Baumwipfel zu entfernen, denn dieser Baum soll als sog. "spar tree" genutzt werden, also praktisch als Kranersatz dienen. Dass das ein extrem gefährlicher Job ist, versteht sich von selbst. Was sich nicht so ganz von selbst versteht, warum z. B. eben dieser Highclimber nach vollrichteter Tat recht locker und lässig sich auf den 40 Meter hohen "Baumstumpf" stellt und von oben erst mal die Aussicht genießt.Die hinzugefügten Fotos (s/w) unterstützen die Texte eindrücklich.Man sollte allerdings dem amerikanischen Englisch nicht so ganz abgeneigt sein, einige ungewöhnliche Ausdrücke kommen auf einen zu (aber man lernt ja dazu)."Nur" vier Sterne, weil ein Inhaltsverzeichnis und ein Schlagwortverzeichnis fehlen. Das Buch stellt eher eine Geschichtensammlung zum Schmökern dar, die es aber trotz (oder wegen?) dieser Aufmachung in sich hat.
Good Book
