Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Philip Taft Labor History Book Prize Often cast as villains in the Northwest's environmental battles, timber workers in fact have a connection to the forest that goes far beyond jobs and economic issues. Steven C. Beda explores the complex true story of how and why timber-working communities have concerned themselves with the health and future of the woods surrounding them. Life experiences like hunting, fishing, foraging, and hiking imbued timber country with meanings and values that nurtured a deep sense of place in workers, their families, and their communities. This sense of place in turn shaped ideas about protection that sometimes clashed with the views of environmentalists--or the desires of employers. Beda's sympathetic, in-depth look at the human beings whose lives are embedded in the woods helps us understand that timber communities fought not just to protect their livelihood, but because they saw the forest as a vital part of themselves.

Book excerpt: Timber is the story of a friendship between two men, their work, their loves, and their involvement in the struggle over the unionization of loggers. It is a stirring story of an earlier time, when trees were still "thick as a hair on the back of a dog," and when people of conscience were concerned about the wellbeing of the men who felled the great trees, rather than the survival of the trees.
