About This Item
Bonanza, 1956. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Dust Jacket protected by mylar-27 x 22 x 2 cm- " This is a classic for anyone interested in the history of logging in the Pacific Northwest.This is how trees were harvested, transported to mills and converted into the resources which built this Country. There's hundreds of wonderful photos from the woods along with many contraptions which loggers created to make their tasks either easier or more likely, more productive. Can you imagine a raft 1000 feet long and 30 feet wide and deep made out of logs laced together with huge chains? These structures containing millions of board feet of trees would be created in the far Northwest and floated down the coast to San Diego, CA and further. There's photos in the book. There's a great photo of a logger standing on the top of a tree hundreds of feet in the air just after he has completed preparation for high-lead logging. The book is separated into geographic regions from British Columbia and each of the States of the Northwest. It has numerous poems written about loggers.
