Logging and Lumbering, Likely Webster County, W. Va.
Date:
ca. 1900-1920
Description:
A group of men and women balance on large logs. Behind them are stacks of lumber. In the center of the photograph is saw mill, with a pipe that leads out into the forest and has created a mountain of sawdust.
A man in the center of the photograph stands beside a pile of logs, resting his ax against it. Another man on the right of the photograph props his leg on top of a log. The area that surrounds them is covered by logs--the ground is barely visible and the trees that remain standing are in the background.
