Excerpt from From Tree to Trade
Everyone, it is to be supposed, loves trees. And there is something tragic, as well as thrilling, in the downfall of a giant of the forest which for centuries, perhaps, has With stood the buffetings of winter's blasts and summer's tempests, ever growing in strength and stature with the struggle for existence, only to be laid low finally by the axe or the saw. It is this sentiment that moves us to regret - and occasionally protest - the felling of trees for commercial uses.

The narrative goes beyond the mechanics of the industry, exploring the lives of lumbermen and the communities they built. It paints a vivid picture of the transition from primitive logging camps to modern, well-equipped towns, highlighting the industry's impact on economic and social development. Central to the book is the concept of sustainability and resource management.
