I have seen, and helped change, the mode of getting logs out of the woods from sled roads and bulls to the high-powered equipment now used by the large companies of the Pacific Northwest."

It is filled with information about loggers and logging, from what they ate, to how they slept, to what they did for entertainment, to how logging operations were carried out, to the various companies he worked for, etc., etc. A very interesting and authentic account for anyone interested in logging.
