Erick,
Give me a call at 209 223 4703 and I will update you and tell you about a book that’s out there. I work for the CIC and we still represent the workers at the particleboard plant at Martell.

Comment on Ruggles Tract to Sierra Pacific, a history of Cal. Co. timber holdings by Erick Rosin

I was wondering if anyone could please inform me of what is happening with the logging, timber industry and the mills down there. Also if anybody could let me know if there are any books,pictures or any of the mill worker at the Bendix or America Forest Products mill in Martell .CA (1972-1985) are still around. My father Dan Rosin worked there. I was just sitting here remembering the rides on the carriers and forklifts on the green chain. I was so sad to hear Camino and Standard is closed. I used to haul in there when I drove for Walsh Trucking. Ive since moved, but still would appericate some kind of responce to book, pictures or family friends. Thank you to whoever gets this. THANKS ERICK ROSIN

I am in the process of clearing items from my property here in Redding. My husband had an old log grapple that I would like to donate if you are interested. I have no history or information of it’s origin.
I do have photos that I can forward to you, but could not find an email address on your site.
Please contact me if this may be of interest to you.

Thank you,

Deborah Halpenny

Knot Bumper: Man that removed stray/hanging limbs and knots from the logs at the landing before they were loaded on the trucks or train. Made for more stable loads.

It’s a huge file and takes a long time to download. On my Macintosh, Safari gets stuck in the middle of the download, but Firefox downloads the complete file. Takes a while even with DSL.

Hi,

The photo of the McGiffert Loader mentioned above (“We don’t know for sure where this picture was taken, but it appears to be earlier than our Crocker Ridge photos”) was taken near Hobart Mills, California, north of Truckee. The narrow gauge railroad shown was operated at that time by the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company. The SNW&LCo operated out of Hobart Mills from the late 1890’s until about 1936.

What a great story, articles like this just keep me coming back!
I love logging history especially around King Cyn/ Sequoia area.
I have for the past 24 years had relatives in Arnold who have as of late passed on. In all my visits, never knew about the Museum. I now have another reason to visit your wonderful area.

Thanks again for a great website.
