Since I am not a member of the Kinsey Family, I hold no misty feeling towards the family portraits. I feel these should have been more privately kept. Of interest are the outdoor settings showing the logging camps, equipment, and homes. As usual, the technology of the times was glossed over and hidden, while people were posed like they just caught a record trout. Some pictures come across rather disturbing i.e. "This is the largest tree in Washington State... and this is how many roof shingles we made out of it." This book stands with reality frozen in time of places, attitudes, and dreams laid out. It was a simpler, more barbaric time in our past. The stories sometimes fly off the pages in the subtleties the photographer often misses. When you look closer and see the missing fingers and flamboyant disregard for safety (just for a snazzy picture), one must understand this was a different reality than today.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Wonderful, hard to find book. Great pictures of early logging. Reflects the hard work and engineering skills of these days.
