Fascinating history of the Sugar Pine Lumber Company and its Minarets and Western Railway. This book captures the grace and power of mountain logging in an earlier, more romantic time when men worked over difficult terrain using a combination of brute force, electric machinery, and steam locomotives to harvest the seemingly endless supply of timber. The book has some of the best photos of Sierra logging ever taken and they are presented in large format style, along with candid portraits that show the arduous life of the lumberjack. Illustrated throughout with over 180 black and white photos, maps, and drawings. 128 pages with extensive index.
