Robert E. Ficken

4.9/5 (19870 ratings)

Description:The Forested Land looks at western Washington's history from the perspective of its most important resource, the forest, and as such it is the story of the shaping of the region's economy. Beginning with the earliest days of the spar trade and the posts established by the Hudson's Bay Company, the book traces the story of the timber industry to World War II when the industry's central hold on the economy was loosening as it became more complex. This is the story of boom or bust, of labor upheavals and struggles with the environment, of confrontations with the railroads and with government, and of new technology and new markets. But most importantly it is the story of the individuals who made it all happen and it is their voices which emerge most vividly in the extensive use Fricken makes of their journals and correspondence.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
