Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Lumber Industry in the State of New YorkFrom the time when the pioneers first swung their axes in the primeval forests of New York, lumbermen have been closely connected with the industrial progress and development of the State. The first settler was the first lumberman; and his work commenced when he felled the trees to make a clearing in the forest for his cabin and his crops. Although this use of the ax alone would hardly constitute lumbering as understood to-day, still it was not many years until a sawmill appeared in each settlement and the lumber industry was formally inaugurated.Of necessity, the first colonists went without sawmills longer than the later ones. They made rough lumber for their houses, barns, and fences with their axes, supplemented at times by saws, large and small, worked by hand-power. But in the later settlements, which in the beginning of the last century included three-fourths of the State, a sawmill was built in each locality within ten or fifteen years after the first family moved in. In many instances the sawmill preceded the gristmill; and in a few places the erection of the mill antedated the advent of the first settlers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...same time preserve a practicable grade. It should be downhill all the way from the starting point, so that large loads can be hauled, and yet not so steep as to shove a team over the bank. Skill and experience are called for in the construction of side-hill or dugway roads, in bridge building, and in corduroying swamps. The camps having been built, the bark peeled and ranked, and the skidways piled high with logs (PI. XIII), upon the first deep snow the hauling commences. The roads are sprinkled from a large water tank, drawn on a sleigh, until a good ice bottom is formed, while on the steep grades sand and gravel are thickly spread to retard the speed of the loaded sleighs. Soon the landing or banking ground becomes a scene of activitj'. Teams drive up in quick succession to be unloaded, binding chains are unfastened by the unloaders, and the huge loads roll off the sleighs with a bumping, thumping noise as the logs rebound from the frozen earth. The teamsters vie with each other in the size of their loads; and with the wide "bunks" now in use, iced roads, and heavy teams, a pyramid of logs is rolled up on the sleigh at the skidways until the driver, astride on the top log, is perched 10 feet or more above the ground. (PI. XIV, fig. 2.) Some of the "champion" loads contain from 5,000 to 6,000 feet, although smaller ones are the general rule. A teamster is expected to make a specified number of trips each day, according to the length of the haul, which varies in most jobs from 1 to 4 miles, sometimes more. He must needs go to sleep early, because he must be up long before daylight, feed his team, get his Fig. 1.--Cutting Spruce Logs, Hamilton County.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American lumber industry helped fuel westward expansion and industrial development during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, building logging camps and sawmills—and abandoning them once the trees ran out. In this book, John Franzen surveys archaeological studies of logging sites across the nation, explaining how material evidence found at these locations illustrates key aspects of the American experience during this era. Franzen delves into the technologies used in cutting and processing logs, the environmental impacts of harvesting timber, the daily life of workers and their families, and the social organization of logging communities. He highlights important trends, such as increasing mechanization and standardization, and changes in working and living conditions, especially the food and housing provided by employers. Throughout these studies, which range from Michigan to California, the book provides access to information from unpublished studies not readily available to most researchers. The Archaeology of the Logging Industry also shows that when archaeologists turn their attention to the recent past, the discipline can be relevant to today’s ecological crises. By creating awareness of the environmental deterioration caused by industrial-scale logging during what some are calling the Anthropocene, archaeology supports the hope that with adequate time for recovery and better global-scale stewardship, the human use of forests might become sustainable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Lumber Industry of America, Vol. 2 The first volume of this work was devoted to certain general subjects and to eastern Canada; this volume takes up the history of the lumber industry of the United States in detail. An appropriate beginning is found in connection with white pine. It is possible that the first trees cut on American soil by white men were yellow pine; and during certain periods the southern wood, perhaps, contributed more largely to the export trade of the colonies and of the United States than did white pine; but the latter was earlier the basis for an industry of magnitude, and, until the close of the Nineteenth Century, furnished more than any other one species, or more than any group of related species, to the internal commerce of the country. While the southern pines were and are famous in the export trade, they supplied at home, until within a generation, hardly more than a local requirement; whereas white pine was in demand almost everywhere throughout the continent and sold hi large quantities, not only in the states in which it grew but even hi states which were abundantly supplied with pines of their own growth, and, furthermore, it furnished the chief building and finishing material necessary in the development of the great prairie regions west of the Mississippi River. It was the white pine that of all the timber resources of the North American continent first attracted the attention of explorers, and it was the white pine that was first the subject of Royal or legislative enactment. This volume of the "History of the Lumber Industry of America" is, therefore, devoted very largely to the history of the white pine industry. This history is appropriately considered in its geographical relationships, and, for the sake of convenience, a beginning is made with the white pine State farthest east - a Commonwealth known for generations as the Pine Tree State, although for more than a half century pine has been second to spruce in volume of product. Beginning with Maine, the other New England states appropriately come after and then the white pine belt is followed across New York and Pennsylvania. The history of those wonderful, virgin forests which stretched from the St. Croix River of Maine to the Red River of the North has almost been finished, and there survive only the remnants of those great resources in scattered groups of trees or in decimated woodlands, which stand as reminders of once magnificent forests of an extent and of a value to man never excelled, if equaled.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive story of logging, lumbering, and forest conservation in Texas records the industry's history from the earliest days of the Republic, when a few isolated operations provided for local needs, through the first four decades of the twentieth century. Supplemented by over one hundred photographs, many never before published, the text re-creates Texas' heyday as one of the nation's leading timber producers. At that time, the forested area equaled the state of Indiana. In the words of one visitor, the forest was "like a vast wave that has rolled in upon a level beach ... creeping forward, thinning out, and finally disappearing, except where, along a river course, it pushes far inland."
