Book Reviews of This Was Logging
Book Review: it's a keeper
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. The text was interesting,and the photographs by Darius Kinsey were plentiful and for the most part sharp and reproduced well. There was quite a variety of subject matter in the photos as well,such as steam donkeys,log trucks, tressels,different types of old logging equipment, and so on.
Summary of This Was Logging
"Someday" Big Fred Hewett used to say in his Humboldt Saloon in Aberdeen, Washington, "these pictures will show how the boys used to do it." He knew the day would come when the Pacific Northwest's "Big Woods" would be only a fog-blurred memory and the cry "Logs! More Logs!" would no longer be heard ringing up and down the skidroads. With the superb views of timber photographer Darius Kinsey, comprising more than 200 pictures made from wet plate celluloid negatives, 11" x 14", and processed by his pioneer wife, Tabitha, author Andrews dramatically presents a panorama of lumbering's great days in these woods from 1890 to 1925. Shown in sharp detail are the first axes, 12-foot crosscut saws, the first oxen and horses, the first donkey engines and "lokeys". Then the story continues into the "highball" days, the high production period with the steel tower skidders and miles of steel rigging.United States Books
