West Virginia's Last Logging Railroad,
This review is from: West Virginia's Last Logging Railroad -the Meadow River Lumber Company (Paperback)
Very interesting book,I would have given it a five but I was disappointed there was not more information about the logging camps themselves. My father was a logger there for twenty five years. Very little info about what he would have done, only about the locomotives, tracks and the mill.
