EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Skidding Pine Logs, Keystone Lumber Company," dates back to either 1901 or 1902. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past of America's lumber industry during the early 20th century. The scene unfolds in a serene, forested landscape, with the focus on a group of horses and workers skillfully maneuvering pine logs along a muddy path. The logs are arranged on a makeshift raft, which is being pulled by a team of horses. The workers, dressed in heavy clothing and hats, stand at the front and back of the raft, expertly guiding the logs through the water. In the background, the towering pine trees stretch towards the sky, their branches reaching out in every direction. The trees, with their vibrant green needles, contrast beautifully with the dark, wet logs and the muddy water. The image is a testament to the hard work and dedication required to extract timber from the forest during this era. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, and it is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress. The image is a valuable piece of historical documentation, showcasing the industrial processes that shaped the country's economy and landscape during the early 1900s. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past of the Keystone Lumber Company, whose name is prominently displayed on a sign in the background. The company, which was not the creator of the photograph, was a significant player in the lumber industry during this time. The image is a reminder of the rich history of the lumber industry in America and the hardworking men and animals that made it possible.
