Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one studies the history of Wisconsin, it is impossible to ignore the significant role played by the lumber industry during the Nineteenth Century. Down through the years, many authors have discussed the history of the lumber industry in Wisconsin during this era. No discussion of this subject is complete without reference to the dynamic impact of The Knapp, Stout & Co. Company and its founder, William Wilson...due to its dominating role in the industry. Consequently, many authors have referenced this company and its founder. However, up to this point, no book has been exclusively devoted to this famed company, and its founder. This volume tells the compelling story of William Wilson, who built a world class lumber empire in the woods of Wisconsin. It collects this secondary information, that is, the relevant published accounts of this company and its founder, weaving it together with primary sources. In the end, we have a volume which brings into shaper focus, the history of Northwestern Wisconsin's Red Cedar Valley, and the forces which forever modified the geographical character of the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From the ring of the ax in the woods, to the scream of the saw blade in the mill, to the founding of many of Wisconsin’s communities, Jerry Apps does an outstanding job bringing Wisconsin’s logging and lumbering heritage to life.”—Kerry P. Bloedorn, director, Rhinelander Pioneer Park Historical Complex For more than half a century, logging, lumber production, and affiliated enterprises in Wisconsin’s Northwoods provided jobs for tens of thousands of Wisconsinites and wealth for many individuals. The industry cut through the lives of nearly every Wisconsin citizen, from an immigrant lumberjack or camp cook in the Chippewa Valley to a Suamico sawmill operator, an Oshkosh factory worker to a Milwaukee banker. When the White Pine Was King tells the stories of the heyday of logging: of lumberjacks and camp cooks, of river drives and deadly log jams, of sawmills and lumber towns and the echo of the ax ringing through the Northwoods as yet another white pine crashed to the ground. He explores the aftermath of the logging era, including efforts to farm the cutover (most of them doomed to fail), successful reforestation work, and the legacy of the lumber and wood products industries, which continue to fuel the state’s economy. Enhanced with dozens of historic photos, When the White Pine Was King transports readers to the lumber boom era and reveals how the lessons learned in the vast northern forestlands continue to shape the region today.

L'Roe and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tectonic shift in land ownership by the forest products industry has transformed private forestland across the United States. Previous research has focused primarily on documenting the total extent of land transfers from vertically integrated forest products companies to new owners, especially corporate investors in the form of timberland investment management organizations (TIMOs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The primary goal of this research was to determine how the new owners of former industrial forestland have altered the distribution and functions of Wisconsin's working forests. I drew on several complementary methodologies, beginning with stakeholder interviews and document analysis to determine the motivations of land owners and managers through profiles of the state's largest private ownerships. I then explored the location-specific predictors of land sales, parcelization, and conservation easements using a quantitative analysis of data from a statewide conservation program with ownership change information assembled from public, corporate, and archival sources. Finally, I combined this extensive ownership dataset with records of timber product harvesting in a fixed effects model to analyze the effects of ownership type and change on timber harvesting while accounting for property location, conservation easement status, and annual variation. The result is an in-depth study that documents the transition of industrial forest ownership in a state where private forestland is embedded in a complex landscape of control, use, and production. Wisconsin's private forests are critical resources for a wide range of residents, recreationists, and local economies. Investor owners have maintained open access to nearly all of their properties, and guaranteed access to a significant portion through permanent conservation easements. However, they have also sold a substantial amount of property to private owners, especially smaller properties with greater development and residential value. Remaining large ownerships have condensed into a smaller set of the most productive forestland holdings. Timber harvesting practices on these properties have been reduced and shifted towards uneven-aged management strategies. I use the results of these three studies to draw conclusions about the role of forest stakeholders at different scales, the interactions of forest conservation strategies, and the importance of private forest monitoring and reporting.
