| Island Timber: A Social History of the Comox Logging Company, Vancouver Island |
| By : Shirley Sherwood |
This 8 1/2 x 11 softcover charts the history of one of the largest logging concerns on coastal British Columbia-the Comox Logging Company-from the turn of the century to the devastating Great Fire of 1938. With 450 employees, six huge steam-powered skidders, a dozen locomotives, hundreds of miles of track, and sole access to the Douglas fir forests between Courtenay and Campbell River, Comox Logging boomed and towed billions of board feet of timber from Vancouver Island to Fraser Mills at New Westminster-then the largest sawmill in the British Empire. Island Timber is also the first social and community history of a logging company in British Columbia.
