Book Synopsis
A colorful history of logging and its movement from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. Carol tells the story of those colorful, hardworking and hard playing men who left their mark on the lands. This book is not a definitive study of the logging industry. It would take a series of volumes and the contribution of many historians to accomplish that purpose. This title is more a series of events. Nor should one conclude from the chapters pertaining to the labor movement that all the logging companies are bad. For every company against the fledgling unions was another which provided medical care and emergency methods to transport the injured out of the woods to company hospitals--such as the one provided by Walter M. Reed of Simpson Timber, McCleary, Washington; clean bunk houses, even family apartment buildings such as provided by Polson Logging Company, Montesano, Washington; European trained chefs--such as imported from the New York Waldorf Astoria by the Schafer Brothers of Upper Satso
