5.0 out of 5 stars Great History of the Heydays of Northern Michigan Logging, May 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Deep Woods Frontier: A History of Logging in Northern Michigan (Great Lakes Books) (Paperback)

Highly recommended if you have any interest in the timber industry's history. Book includes commentary on the results of some poor management practices and the attempts to farm clear-cuts. A good history of logging and the lessons learned. Lots of interesting characters and stories, as well. Obviously a well researched book.
