Skidding logs on a temporary bridge, circa 1910

Order an Image
In the northwest forests, wood was so plentiful that loggers used it to build many kinds of temporary structures. This photo, taken in about 1910, shows a temporary bridge used for skidding logs across a ravine at Cook's Camp, near Brennan, Washington.

Notes: The photographer may be Axtell, a photographer based in Edmonds, Washington, who took other photographs at Cook's Camp during this time period. Axtell's given name is unknown.
