Logging and Lumbering in Maine (ME) (Images of America) Paperback – June 11, 2001

Exactly as described. Fast shipping.

Mr. Wilson gets it "right" when describing the Irish, French and German immigrants that went into the forest to earn a living. These men were tough as nails and most had little to lose in the brutal conditions of America's northern forests. The old photography is a treasure in itself.

A veteran, in a nursing home, wanted a picture book of American logger. This book provided this and was very well liked by the resident.

This book has lots of pictures about the logging industry in Maine, for those who are interested in Maine history. The book came promptly and in good condition.
