Description

This Was Logging, a collection of photographs and stories, presents a panoramic view of the lumbering industry in the Pacific Northwest from 1890 to 1925. The book features over 200 pictures made from wet plate celluloid negatives, showcasing the early days of logging, from the first axes and crosscut saws to the introduction of oxen, horses, and donkey engines.

Author Ralph W. Andrews brings to life the story of the lumbering industry through the photographs of timber photographer Darius Kinsey and the processing work of his pioneer wife, Tabitha. The book continues into the "highball" days, highlighting the high production period with steel tower skidders and miles of steel rigging.
