Timberrr!: A History of Logging in New England (Second Edition) - Paperback

by Mary Morton Cowan (Author)

The forests of New England built a region. Here's the story of the people who worked them.

From colonial ox drivers to river drivers to modern foresters, Timberrr! A History of Logging in New England tells the story of four centuries through the tools, trees, and workers that shaped the landscape we know today. Drawing on historical accounts and the author's own family archival photos, it's an accessible, richly illustrated look at how the timber trade still influences the region's environment, economy, and identity.
