Hardcover. Condizione: New. Hardcover with jacket, 308 pages, B&W photographs, maps and illustrations. Logging Railroads in Skagit County: The First Comprehensive History of the Logging Railroads in Skagit County, Washington State, USA by Dennis Blake Thompson. This book is packed full of striking B&W photographs of early country logging camps, unique engines and the men who worked-and occasionally died-operating the huge machines. Author Dennis Thompson spent more than 10 years painstakingly researching the fascinating and colorful early logging operations in Washington States Skagit County. The result, 308 pages with 411 photographs and dozens of drawings, is an incredible portrayal of an important early industry in a rugged and untamed land. Through a combination of personal experience, countless interviews, and scores of hours pouring over historical archives, Dennis presents a complete and very interesting account and a well-chronicled period of our history. From the small operations that probably would have faded from memory forever to the area giants such as English Logging Company and Bloedel-Donovan Lumber Mills, youll get complete details: How, why, where and when they started, what kind of equipment they used, what areas they worked, and ultimately what became of them. Backing up the concise, interesting, and often amusing text are some outstanding photographs that complete the story. From life in a logging camp to the perils of a locomotive wreck, youll see it all. The first printing of this book sold out quickly after readers discovered exactly how interesting and unique this work truly is. This printing features the same high-quality 80# acid-free glossy stock and is hardcovered with a dust jacket.
