I call your attention to the "Jones Photo Historical Collection" an online archive of a long-time Aberdeen photo studio that closed in 2003 with the untimely death of Greg Jones, the 4th generation of the family. The Timber Industry portfolio has over 1200 images documenting the history of logging from ox teams and axes to diesels and chainsaws. I worked for Bill Jones one summer when I was in college. The studio was a history of photography in itself with cameras dating back to the 1890's sitting on the shelf next to modern models. I recall poking about on a shelf and finding a rolled-up panorama of a railroad roundhouse made with a Cirkut camera in the 1920's.

Great links, all of them! Seventy 2002, thanks for that link! An interesting book to read about a loggers life and rise to the upper eschelon of logging is William Hagenstein's (born 1915) Corks and Suspenders. He wrote the way he talked, and his editor did not remove the voice from his narration - very good; great photos, too. Here's a really nice narrative of Hagenstein, from the Forest History Society. And his biography here.

Oh Pilot of the storm who leaves no trace Like thoughts inside a dream Heed the path that led me to that place Yellow desert stream.

Youre looking at what happened to them.
