Old World Life

[TheTreeSpyder]

i was trying to collect more pix telling the story of immense odds faced in the old word's battles to harvest and clear wood.

The kind like at MasterBlaster's site GypoClimber.Com - Olden Days; and i knew to ask here! This stuff is real unique, as they pull you back thru time etc.; and should not be allowed to disappear.

Thanx,
-KC

Treespyder,

Try these books,

Redwood Classic, by Ralph W. Andrews
Timber, by Ralph W. Andrews
Glory Days of Logging, by Ralph W. Andrews
This was Logging, by Ralph W. Andrews
Or anything by, Darius Kinsey

Darius Kinsey took most of the famous Big Tree photographs and his wife Tabitha processed the negatives, from 1890 to1925. Ralph Andrews then brought the factual text to explain Kinsey's photographs.
