Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Describes The Principles And Methods Of Logging Operations In All The Timber Regions. Logging Is The Important Part Of Forestry In Which Our Woods Are Treated And A Future Supply Of Timber Is Assured Or The Areas Are Left In Unproductive Conditions. It Is An Epic Story Of Courage, Great Hazards And Difficulties Overcome, Success And Failure In A Struggle To Provide Some Of The Necessities Of Mankind. A More Scientific Approach Has Been Made To The Problems Of Logging, And The Profitability Of Removing The Logs Of Different Species And Sizes From Our Woods Has Been More Accurately Determined. Mechanized Logging Has Made Important Advances Especially Feeling, Bucking, And Log Loading. Progress In Prelogging, Relogging, Integrated Logging, And Salvage Cuttings Has Presented New Phases Of The Industry That Are Important In Handling Our Forest Resources. It Is Hoped That This Book Will Help The Student And Possibly The Operator To Gain A Better Understanding Of Some Of The Logging Methods.

Download or read book North Woods River written by Eileen M. McMahon and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The St. Croix River, the free-flowing boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota, is a federally protected National Scenic Riverway. The area’s first recorded human inhabitants were the Dakota Indians, whose lands were transformed by fur trade empires and the loggers who called it the “river of pine.” A patchwork of farms, cultivated by immigrants from many countries, followed the cutover forests. Today, the St. Croix River Valley is a tourist haven in the land of sky-blue waters and a peaceful escape for residents of the bustling Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan region. North Woods River is a thoughtful biography of the river over the course of more than three hundred years. Eileen McMahon and Theodore Karamanski track the river’s social and environmental transformation as newcomers changed the river basin and, in turn, were changed by it. The history of the St. Croix revealed here offers larger lessons about the future management of beautiful and fragile wild waters.

Download or read book Wood Hicks and Bark Peelers written by Ronald E. Ostman and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Wood Hicks and Bark Peelers, Ronald E. Ostman and Harry Littell draw on the stunning documentary photography of William T. Clarke to tell the story of Pennsylvania’s lumber heyday, a time when loggers serving the needs of a rapidly growing and globalizing country forever altered the dense forests of the state’s northern tier. Discovered in a shed in upstate New York and a barn in Pennsylvania after decades of obscurity, Clarke’s photographs offer an unprecedented view of the logging, lumbering, and wood industries during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They show the great forests in the process of coming down and the trains that hauled away the felled trees and trimmed logs. And they show the workers—cruisers, jobbers, skidders, teamsters, carpenters, swampers, wood hicks, and bark peelers—their camps and workplaces, their families, their communities. The work was demanding and dangerous; the work sites and housing were unsanitary and unsavory. The changes the newly industrialized logging business wrought were immensely important to the nation’s growth at the same time that they were fantastically—and tragically—transformative of the landscape. An extraordinary look at a little-known photographer’s work and the people and industry he documented, this book reveals, in sharp detail, the history of the third phase of lumber in America.
