Description

ANNOTATION: This paper briefly describes the history of the logging industry in the United States. Specifically, harvesting technology and methods are discussed. Many significant and far-reaching changes have taken place in the logging industry since its inception in the mid-17th century. But technological advances aimed at improved timber utilization have not come about quickly. It has been an incremental and continuous process.
