Description
What happened to the loggers of America’s past when lumbermen moved west and south in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? How did these communities continue to create value and meaning in these marginal lands? This book provides a new perspective on the process of industrialization through the study of rural workers in a cutover landscape.
