The Mill on the Boot: The Story of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company
|
| By : Murray Morgan |
The purchase in 1888 of 83,000 acres of fir, cedar, and hemlock in Washington's Cascade Mountains by four midwestern entrepreneurs was the largest timberland sale to date. It led to the creation of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company, for a decade the world's largest timber operation. A giant sawmill was built in an area of Tacoma know as "The Boot," a low island of the main tideflats, bordered by branches of the Puyallup River and Commencement Bay. The St. Paul and Tacoma played a major role in developing markets for American lumber around the Pacific rim. It built the first standard gauge logging railroad and introduced the band-saw into Pacific Northwest lumber operations. Locally, it began the industrial development of the Tacoma tideflats. In addition, the company was instrumental in the formation of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and it led campaigns to regulate railroad freight rates, to prevent forest fires, and to search for a legal way to control lumber prices.

This Was Logging: Drama in the Northwest Timber Country
|
| By : Ralph W. Andrews |
"Someday" Big Fred Hewett used to say in his Humboldt Saloon in Aberdeen, Washington, "these pictures will show how the boys used to do it." He knew the day would come when the Pacific Northwest's "Big Woods" would be only a fog-blurred memory and the cry "Logs! More Logs!" would no longer be heard ringing up and down the skidroads. With the superb views of timber photographer Darius Kinsey, comprising more than 200 pictures made from wet plate celluloid negatives, 11" x 14", and processed by his pioneer wife, Tabitha, author Andrews dramatically presents a panorama of lumbering's great days in these woods from 1890 to 1925.
