| Bull Whackers to Whistle Punks: Logging in the Old West (First Books_ Western U.S. History Series) |
| By : Sharlene Nelson, Ted W. Nelson |
The Nelsons do an admirable job of describing logging in the West during the last half of the nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth century. The daily lives of the loggers, their jobs, and the machinery and tools that were used are carefully explained in a lively, engaging style. Colorful logging terms are thoroughly defined, but the use of both boldface and italics to highlight words is distracting in the otherwise attractive book. Black-and-white or color photographs appear on nearly every page. The shots of immense trees and logs will amaze readers and may be useful in helping them understand the concerns of preservationists battling to save old-growth trees. A bibliography is appended.
