Download or read book Big Timber written by Leslie Paulson Stryker and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-04 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Big Timber, watched over by the Crazy Mountains of Southwest Montana, has always been named for its natural surroundings. Big Timber was originally founded in the late 1800s. An Irish immigrant named the settlement Dornix, from the Gaelic word durnog, which when translated means a rock that fits in the hand and is handy for throwing, and there are indeed many such rocks around the region. In 1883, however, when complications with the railroad forced the town to move to its present-day location, it was renamed Big Timber, for the grand and plentiful cottonwood trees along the banks of the nearby Boulder and Yellowstone Rivers. Pioneers began arriving in earnest around 1890, bringing with them sheep, and by 1892, Big Timber was among the worlds largest exporters of wool. Later, when a fire devastated the town, the community stood together to rebuild.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1916. With Frontispiece by Douglas Duer. From the best-selling Western author, Big Timber begins: The Imperial Limited lurched with a swing around the last hairpin curve of the Yale canyon. Ahead opened out a timbered valley, narrow on its floor, flanked with bold mountains, but nevertheless a valley, down which the rails lay straight and shining on an easy grade. The river that for a hundred miles had boiled and snarled parallel to the tracks, roaring through the granite sluice that cuts the Cascade Range, took a wider channel and a leisurely flow. The mad haste had fallen from it as haste falls from one who, with time to spare, sees his destination near at hand; and the turgid Fraser had time to spare, for now it was but threescore miles to tidewater. So the great river moved placidly-as an old man moves when all the headlong urge of youth is spent and his race near run.

But after Damon broke her heart and crushed her dreams, Ellie couldn't get out of town fast enough. Twelve years later, Ellie is back, and life is nothing like she'd once imagined At age 30, she is widowed, broke, and a single parent to a 5 year old son. Humiliated after discovering that her "Wizard of Wall Street" husband had swindled his clients out of billions of dollars, Ellie is forced to move back in with her mother until she can get her life back on track. When she'd forced to work closely with Damon, Ellie tries to ignore the powerful attraction still simmering between them. But it doesn't take long before she finds herself once again under Damon's spell. . There was a time when Damon believed Ellie wanted the same things he did - to get married and raise a family in Big Timber. But her move to New York and marriage to a Wall Street high flyer proved that the life Ellie really wanted was nothing Damon could ever give her. As far as he's concerned, Ellie Tanner did him a favor when she dumped him cold all those years ago. Then Ellie shows up back in town, looking more beautiful than ever, sending Damon's blood - and his heart - racing. But he learned the hard way not to count on a future with Ellie. While he may not be able to keep his hands off her, this time he knows better than to let himself fall for her all over again. Until he's forced to admit that when it comes to it comes to loving Ellie, he doesn't have a choice. Praise For Jami Alden:
Download or read book Big Timber A Story Of The Northwest written by BERTRAND W. SINCLAIR and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "Big Timber: A Story of the Northwest" is thrilling and endearing. The story probably focuses on the struggles and exploits that people in the wood sector confront while delving into issues like resource depletion, logging industry dynamics, and the effects of human activity on the environment. Given the location, the book might offer an insight into the life of loggers, lumberjacks, and other people employed in the timber trade at a time when the sector was vital to the development of the local economy and culture. Adventure, romance, and possibly conflicts involving the exploitation of natural resources are all possible story points. All things considered, "Big Timber" probably gives readers a clear picture of the untamed landscapes of the Northwest and the people whose lives are entwined with the chances and difficulties brought about by the timber industry.

Download or read book Ugly Deeside Land vandalism by big timber machines written by Adam Watson and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author noticed severe damage to ground from big timber machines during the 1990s. Later he found that this destroyed the original pinewood soil and vegetation, and led to water-logging and wind-throw of standing trees beside machine ruts. In 2011–15 he surveyed this in many woods on Deeside and Donside, owned by the Forestry Commission and private owners. In every case, mistreatment of woodland by timber machines breached the conditions of The UK Forestry Standard 2011, as authorised by the FC. Machine use severely damages scenery and the public's ability to walk or ski safely. It has damaged and polluted watercourses. The public pay for this vandalism, because the UK timber industry depends on taxpayer's subsidies. The monster machines should be banned, the hypocritical and wasteful FC chopped.
