Down the Hill : A True Story of Early Logging in the Pacific Northwest
Author: Roy E. Stier
Publisher: Bookpartners Inc

Here's an excellent book about logging and lumbering in the greater Tacoma, WA area. It traces the arrival of those hardy men and women that carved a living out of this wild and untamed area. The author was personally involved as a child and spent a number of his early years in a variety of jobs from the ground up. It is also an excellent testament to the vision of some of those early lumbering businesses that started tree farms and re-forested large tracks of land long before it was a government requirement. If you're interested in the techniques of logging with the various apparatus or riggings and what each is called in the woods, this is the books for you. One thing you'll learn for sure is that no self-respecting logger would ever call himself a lumberjack and the only place you'd hear someone call timber as a tree falls is in the movies.
