I'm Minnesotan so logging is a huge part of my States history and I love learning about the history of that industry and looking at old photos and old films taken from the 19th century.
These trees never really died...Cause you drive anywhere in North America and see the older houses... houses that were built and framed with these old trees...Boy thanks for having a chain saw in my day...I bought an old house and was fixing some flooring and we found boards that were 12"-18" wide and 1" thick...
What an awesome video of great pictures of old time logging and the transportation from the woods to the mills. Thank you Dr Stanley. Awesome music and vocals.
Thanks, my mom was born in a sawmill town, in northern Cal, I live in Cave Junction, OR from 3rd to 7th grade, and i could hear the saw going down the valley at the Kirby Mill and at night could see the wig wom burning at night, The mill is gone now as are hundred of others in the northwest, wished I could fined the pictures of my Grandpa in the 20's. He ran a steam donkey and worked up to building mills in northern Cal and southern OR. Thank for the Love the old Picture.
👍 🙄 WoW ! LOVE those Old Pics . . . & that GREAT Soundtrack too !! - 🌲 I grew up in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia , where some of the Best Lumber in the World Came from !!
Great job, I lived close to a great logging mill, in Maine, so I know what its about and its not easy, but very interesting. and then there were the saw bobbers, ones that got stuck one end in the bottom of the river, and now they have gone back and pulled those out! Wish I had thought of that years ago!Brings back a lot of memories.Thanks again, Rick in Arizona
Thought this was just awesome . I lived beside a Saw Mill when I was a kid in Florida . Everyday at noon when the men would break for lunch , a man would sharpen the large round blade with a file . I can still remember the ring from the blade as the file was stroked . The Saw Mill ( Hartsock Saw Mill ) was owned by Roger Hartsock , my next door neighbor . Relative to Robert W. Hartsock , the only DOG HANDLER from the Vietnam War to be awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor . Robert W. Hartsock jumped on a explosive pack that a VC Sapper tossed to save the Lives of two men . One was his Company Commander and another a Friend . He rendered suppressive fire with his M-14 until the two men could take cover even after his chest took the full blast . R.I.P. to all those lost in Vietnam . I am a Vietnam Era Veteran myself , but they needed me in Germany as a Military Police . I joined at age 17 to have a home and went on to win and be awarded 2 Bronze Medals from the 6th and 7th International Military Police Competitions where only 14 US MP's are selected to compete each year . I didn't serve in combat like many have done before , but I always tryed to give my best for my Country and Fellow Soldiers .
@@rcsnow22 also one of my friends fathers served on a Canadian air force base in Germany for 20 years or a German base as a Canadian not sure how that works but when he came home with his son who was 13 at the time everyone was treating my friend like it was ww2 and he was German small town 1992 his dad served with my grandfather before my grandfather retired i had to tell everyone that steven was a Canadian who just happened to grow up in germany kids are mean exspecially to other kids that do not fit in it did not take him to long to fit in though
I love these type video's, we get to see pictures, that would be lost in an archive somewhere if not for them. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this.
loved this....thanks for posting this...fun to watch AND listen to the neat ol' music...I want to show this to my students about the early logging industry...GREAT!
My grandfather was a lumberjack when he was in his 20s. He told me stories about that time. The one I remember him saying was how big the work mules were. If you watch and look at the work horse and mules you can see how big they are. Thanks for posting this. Back when men were men and you could settle a dispute behind the house. Back then you gave respect and acted respectful because you didn't you might get punched in the mouth or worse.
+Jeff S Believe it or not oxen and horses are still used up here in the NorthWest. They are used when someone wants to thin out trees around their house or property but don't want the land tore up the way machines do. I admit that it is almost always rich people that do it.
@James Cronin you dislike Capitalism. I dislike Democracy. A free country is a Republic. Corporations control a Democracy. If feel you're confused about Democracy and Capitalism.
My greatgrandpa cleared a 1/4 section of cut-over white pine acreage in northern Wisconsin around 1900, built his own log house from trees off his land. There was a lumber mill a few miles south of him, in place called Lugerville. I have pictures from that time. Only a few buildings remain now.
Sad to see what became of the old growth forests of Appalachia. Nothing left here now but a scrubby remnant of the majestic giants that once covered our beautiful mountains.
It never ceases to amaze me all the negative talk people put on here. I’d just like to know, who it was that twisted your arm and made you watch this video. ...Exactly.....no one.. if you don’t have something constructive to say, shut the heck up. Whoever put this on here took his time and money to do it. And some love to watch, if you don’t, well you know where the “off” button is. You do, right?
Very true. A lot of the logs that go through our local mills are pretty small. Much of it goes into plywood or laminated veneer lumber (LVL). This video showed some giant trees and some hard working tough men. Ya know, I didn't notice too many overweight loggers or mill workers in this video. Those guys worked their rear ends off.
@@rasonjason4066 Things have really changed. For instance, there was a time that there used to be a lot more waste. There was a lot of logs left in the woods, a lot more so-called waste wood that made it to the mills was burned just to get rid of it. Today mills can take smaller, lower grade logs and peel them into veneer, and take some of the wood that has higher density and use that wood in LVL. The rest of it can be used in making plywood. That LVL can bring in big bucks. The mills are also a lot more automated. I'm now retired, but I bet that you can guess one of the industries that I worked in.
Yep those were back in the days of yearly showers and men were rough and ready... My dad was one of those young buck critters back a hundred years ago He was foreman of where the Log Trucks came in and dumped and then the logs were re-loaded up on to car after car after car of railway cars...One tree cut could build an entire house!!!
The first song is " Lonesome Banjo Man" , it was written about Ralph Stanley by the late Charlie Love from Scottown, Ohio. I heard Mr. Love sing this at a Ralph Stanley concert one time back in the 1980's .
little known fact the East coast of the United States had some of the biggest trees in the world but all of it was raped for lumber before any one knew what happened
I want to thank you for posting this wonderful lonesome sounding bluegrass video with all the history, would you happen know who is that lady ?helping Ralph sing ?
Deforestation? That is caused by mismanagement from the forest service, allowing hundreds of thousands of acres to burn every summer, rather than manage the forests.
"Strongly" disagree on the "overused" term of under estimated it is still call Horsepower after all :) but yes they are amazing to see in true work mode. Peace Rick
i agree somewhat with what some people are saying and its strip logging that hurts the environment not just logging and plus back then they weren't getting nearly the logs in a weeks time that loggers today get in a days work, so what I'm sayin enjoy the music and respect peoples opinions
The huge old growth forests of Appalachia have been completely decimated. The abuse of the pack animals and some humans is a story that needs to be told.
@ Prescomp: Time for a bit of a recent history lesson, and to correct some errors, poor judgement, and glaring rhetorical mistakes on your part. By the rather vicious zeal of your comments, I take it you're involved with Earth First! or at least an avid consumer or their propaganda (and yes, I use the word "propaganda" knowing its exact definition). Earth First!, like any other extremist group, were not big fans of any information which contradicted their preconceived notions. The clear-cutting which inspired much (but not all) of Earth First!'s activities was not the fault of "The Logging Industry," but of one man: Charles Hurwitz, president of the Maxxam Corp. of Texas and, in 1985, the new owner of the Pacific Lumber company. At the same time, the federal government was making moves to expand its National Forest holdings in the area via eminent domain. Out of spite, and in order to maximize profits, Maxxam began a process of deforestation, taking down every piece of timber on every inch of land it owned. Maxxam and its shareholders were the only ones happy about this. Sierra Club, Audubon Society, and other conservation groups found them battling both Maxxam and the extremists from Earth First and Earth Liberation Front. The loggers hated working for Maxxam, and they were fully aware they were working themselves out of jobs.... Plus the constant threat of "spiked" trees, where a metal spike is driven into a trunk. The end result is going to put a chainsaw to a tree, only to have the saw bounce backwards towards the operator. These were courtesy of EF! and ELF. (And if you think that's cool, fuck you. You're ten-fold worse than those you criticize.) And the locals weren't happy: Pacific Lumber and the conservationists had lived in harmony since the 1920s; the extremists who came into the area were openly hostile towards anyone who didn't align with their rhetoric and views. I've lived around mountain people long enough to know that they are slow to anger, but once a line is crossed, there will be no quarter given, and damn little mercy shown. Earth First! protesters would return to the CITY from the north coast complaining about how the locals were kissing ass for Pacific Lumber/Maxxam.... Not considering it was their own bad manners which made the locals loathe them so much. You make the statement, "Don't post a video like this." Damn silly statement, kid: no one, least of all you, gets to be the arbiter of what should and shouldn't be put up on RUclips. If I had my druthers, every video showing a slow-motion video of a baseball player taking a ball to the nuts would disappear overnight. They're not just in bad taste, they aren't funny, we've seen it over and over. But it's not for me to make that decision, and it shouldn't be. I don't drink, because I'm really good at it, if you get my drift... But I would never tell someone they can't drink. Why project? "There should be laws against cutting a tree down that took so long to grow." Hoo boy. You don't get this at all, do you? You drop old trees because they're at the end of their life cycle. Like everything else, trees die. And when they die, they are of no use to anybody except the Dura-Flame company (who don't harvest to begin with). Taking down old trees means more room for younger trees to prosper... And with proper thinning, and controlled burns, you end up with healthier forests. (It's more complicated than that, but I've also been avoiding using big words around you, Prescomp. Your limited statements suggest it's not unfair to consider you just a tiny bit simple.) I live in timber country in the Sierras. I've seen what poorly-managed forest can do to peoples' lives. I've seen black cloths tied to the rear-views of logging trucks. And I've seen idiots demand all logging stop, completely. Funny, the idiots demanding logging cease always turn out to be from San Francisco or Sacramento or Berkeley. The upshot is that the less you understand something, the easier it is to criticize it, loudly.
Dean Dupont tell em! So glad to see someone else who understands life. Sometimes how you do it is more important than what your doing. People get caught up in a snowball and can't see they've went to far sometimes. Corporations are not to be trusted and should be regulated by a Republic and not a Democracy.
Very cool or hot with real sweat! Can't even get someone to mow my yard with MY mower right now for 20$ cpl. of these guys could do it with hand tools for the price of dinner and a beer when they did a good job:) also love the horse or oxen pics ,also always interesting when ever looking at old work or factory pics, at the lack of safety guards and all that chain and boilers or steam power always means PRESSURE ,it would truly be viral now at the lg amount of people hurt or killed from those trains and industrial engines. Love dr Stanley but are more than plenty old workingmans songs that pay homage to to our foundation paid in blood and true sweat equity. Thx.Peace Rick
Impressive to see the determination and strength of men in the past but also very painful to see their blind ignorance in raping nature of its vast beauty and health.
thanks for the invention of larger and better logging equipment so the animals wouldn't be abused so much anymore. PS, you don't see any pot bellied slobs in these pictures.
Just imagine how awesome and beautiful the forests of North America and the rest of the world, were before the settlers arrived. It must have been magnificent. I hope one day after mankind has gone, mighty trees and unspoilt landscapes will flourish again. Humanity has been a curse on this planet.
If you want to call the shots you just have to own it. Except in a Democracy the Government will always own it and call the shots when it comes down to it. In a true Republic the citizens have the last say so.
Logs and lumber are different. Lumber is sawn from logs. Timber is standing trees before felling. A faller fells trees or timber. Thus the term “timber faller”.
That was beautiful. Love the music and the photos are priceless. The real men and women that built this country.
Your a fool
These folks build the country, never forget that!
Awesome.The unmistakeable voice of Ralph Stanley.
Baeutiful old song and old time.

I think I read somewhere that these loggers would consume something like 8000 calories a day

REALMENTE IMPRESIONANTES, GRACIAS.
The first song is " Lonesome Banjo Man" , it was written about Ralph Stanley by the late Charlie Love from Scottown, Ohio. I heard Mr. Love sing this at a Ralph Stanley concert one time back in the 1980's .
It was in Rainelle WV...
That log bridge was sweet
But I love Ralph Stanley music.
Dad said. Cut any poles today. No wonder no more
At the 8:25 time, the mountain in the background looks like Mary's Peak near Corvallis and Philomath, Oregon.
little known fact the East coast of the United States had some of the biggest trees in the world but all of it was raped for lumber before any one knew what happened
That's too bad but I think the guys were just doing the best they could
400 hundred year old trees... wow
1.20
.. WHOW
I'm talking about east coast American chestnut!! N big red n white.
What's the names of these songs?
Celine Dion.
MY HEART WILL GO ON.
Will someone please look up the old meadow river lumber company...now that's a mill.!! Great video!! Though.
trees the size of a semi
I want to thank you for posting this wonderful lonesome sounding bluegrass video with all the history, would you happen know who is that lady ?helping Ralph sing ?
@Tibenham What did you think was green screened? The huge logs in there are old growth logs, they got that big naturally.
Deforestation? That is caused by mismanagement from the forest service, allowing hundreds of thousands of acres to burn every summer, rather than manage the forests.
The first song in the video is called lonesome banjo man by ralph stanley on the clinch
we really underestimate the strength and power of horses...
horse meat mmm
They paved the way for us back then. They took us to where we are now. Beautiful amazing creatures
"Strongly" disagree on the "overused" term of under estimated it is still call Horsepower after all :) but yes they are amazing to see in true work mode. Peace Rick
and nowadays my company atleast has to replant a tree every 5 feet after wes done at a site
i agree somewhat with what some people are saying and its strip logging that hurts the environment not just logging and plus back then they weren't getting nearly the logs in a weeks time that loggers today get in a days work, so what I'm sayin enjoy the music and respect peoples opinions
whats the name of the first song?
What song is the first one? Please reply I really like it, Great video by the way!
Where are these photos taken at?
Green Screen ?
This is my KINK
Some of the logs look like they are from the Pacific Northwest.
The huge old growth forests of Appalachia have been completely decimated. The abuse of the pack animals and some humans is a story that needs to be told.

@ Prescomp:
Time for a bit of a recent history lesson, and to correct some errors, poor judgement, and glaring rhetorical mistakes on your part.
By the rather vicious zeal of your comments, I take it you're involved with Earth First! or at least an avid consumer or their propaganda (and yes, I use the word "propaganda" knowing its exact definition). Earth First!, like any other extremist group, were not big fans of any information which contradicted their preconceived notions.
The clear-cutting which inspired much (but not all) of Earth First!'s activities was not the fault of "The Logging Industry," but of one man: Charles Hurwitz, president of the Maxxam Corp. of Texas and, in 1985, the new owner of the Pacific Lumber company. At the same time, the federal government was making moves to expand its National Forest holdings in the area via eminent domain. Out of spite, and in order to maximize profits, Maxxam began a process of deforestation, taking down every piece of timber on every inch of land it owned.
Maxxam and its shareholders were the only ones happy about this. Sierra Club, Audubon Society, and other conservation groups found them battling both Maxxam and the extremists from Earth First and Earth Liberation Front. The loggers hated working for Maxxam, and they were fully aware they were working themselves out of jobs.... Plus the constant threat of "spiked" trees, where a metal spike is driven into a trunk. The end result is going to put a chainsaw to a tree, only to have the saw bounce backwards towards the operator. These were courtesy of EF! and ELF. (And if you think that's cool, fuck you. You're ten-fold worse than those you criticize.) And the locals weren't happy: Pacific Lumber and the conservationists had lived in harmony since the 1920s; the extremists who came into the area were openly hostile towards anyone who didn't align with their rhetoric and views.

You make the statement, "Don't post a video like this." Damn silly statement, kid: no one, least of all you, gets to be the arbiter of what should and shouldn't be put up on RUclips. If I had my druthers, every video showing a slow-motion video of a baseball player taking a ball to the nuts would disappear overnight. They're not just in bad taste, they aren't funny, we've seen it over and over. But it's not for me to make that decision, and it shouldn't be.

Absolutely disgusting how bad our lumber looks nowa days.
well sir', if you knew about logging, you'd know they dont really cut these trees often at all anymore since there endangered.
This is a history video, leave todays politics out of it
Exactly !
Impressive to see the determination and strength of men in the past but also very painful to see their blind ignorance in raping nature of its vast beauty and health.
Two horses to drag that huge pile of logs? I don't think so.
Important part of your history.Days gone by.Time to let the trees grow in peace.
My ancestry have a better life and they have good environments now everything is going
it's really sad though to see some of the big old growth trees being cut down there so few of them left.
Vincent du mestre
VERY good Video! TKS
But it hurts a little bit.
Greets from Germany too.
thanks for the invention of larger and better logging equipment so the animals wouldn't be abused so much anymore. PS, you don't see any pot bellied slobs in these pictures.
Abused by doing the only thing that causes their existence?
