Need Building Photos of Mountain Logging Towns-Sierra Nevada-Calif.
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 20, 2006 4:36 PM
I need some photos of mountain towns, that supported logging and sawmill companies in the 1950's to 1970's.

I know some log/saw operations had donkey engines out in the woods, and very basic lodging for the workers, but I'm talking about actual "towns" that sprung up within a few miles or so of the operation.

Thanks in advance
John
