Found your site because a cousin of mine shared one of your photos via Facebook, loved all the pictures but the ones I went through didn't have any logging in it, maybe I need to research your site further. My husband fell timber in the late 60's early 70's at Elk River.
Thak you so much for sharing such a great site, I love reliving the "good old days"

Awesome collection! Viewing these brings back such memories! 9 years old at the time, was rescued myself by the National Guard. These pictures today are tearing me up, thinking of my Dad, Charlie who took such a lost. No thought of ever giving up, just move forward. Never ever felt sorry for himself or any help from the Red Cross or any agency He took care of everything himself. It was get this mess cleaned up, we have business to run. Humboldt Drive In Theater and Hansen Wire Rope. Also our family home which I still live today had 18 inches of water in it. These picture are just amazing, when I think of all the lives and families that were devastated by this flood. That generation, our parents did not sit around for any hand outs, like the generation of many today. Glad of the work ethics that were instilled in us. There is a couple pictures that I am going to want that have the Humboldt Drive In Theater, which is the closed Hansen's Truck Stop. Yes, keep up your awesome work! I was just hit with a soft spot today looking at these photos, I'll be talking to you soon! Charlene

Maybe Noah was a relative? Do you know his family's country of origin?

Truly and artist Absolutely great stuff

Great to see pictures of Fernbridge on your website. My family lived at the old Governor Bailey Estate "fishing lodge" in Fernbridge from 1950 to 1964, and the pictures brought back fond memories of summers swimming under the bridge. My Dad was raised in Fortuna, and claimed to have actually felled redwoods with two-man handsaws in his early years.

It really gives many of us a realazation of how good we really have it today, the historical photos i'm sure people throughout the northern state could provide a little more detail as to location and names and or property, im sure through time it will be fun to sit back with elders to bicker locality of photos and or people and im sure stories will develope that will be educational and eager to hear of pastimes by sharing with friends and family. thank you Ive yet to archive a 100 year collection with arial photographs of the 55 64 floods and the rise and fall of our once great redwood curtain legacy.

Wow Greg, really great photos.
thanks

I work for a museum as the archivist categorizing and scanning and see many old photos, but you really have a great collection of logging photos, I would love to purchase them all !

What a great website!!! So many wonderful photos can't make up my mind which to purchase!! My grandparents are thrilled that someone is producing these historical photographs! Keep up the good work!!

Love your web site and all the new pictures. Although, now my choice is so much harder. Still pondering the logging photos.

Amazing old photos. - Great to see them on-line. There's incredible history here! Thank you for posting them.
Found your site while verifying inscription info.on the back of some old family photos.
Currently scanning a handful of old 1890's originals taken in the Freshwater, California area.

My Great Grandfather, John Roderick MacLean, from Nova Scotia, Canada, spent 12 years felling these giants. - Will be making a photographic 30 x 40 canvas of him in "The Undercut".
