With more than 200 photographs and an extensive text, Tracks in the Forest describes in detail the first logging equipment of the late 19th century, and the technological developments of the 1920s-30s and 1950s-60s -- the forerunners of 90% of all logging machines used today.
Ken Drushka worked as a journalist before spending sixteen years as a logger, silvicultural contractor and the operator of a custom sawmill.
