The sort of specters covered here are remnants of the industry which still haunts our forests, waterfronts and towns. The book covers the Pacific Northwest but includes much of Humboldt, and graphically describes how the industry and its physical remnants changed over time. One of the most appealing aspects of this book is the abundance of beautiful color photographs of those ghosts -- abandoned docks and railway tracks, rusted equipment left in the woods, former camps, company towns, train engines, bridges, old mills, forlorn teepee burners, and modern monuments and museums.
The some 150 photos and thorough well-researched captions should make this book appeal to our many timber and railway enthusiasts. As with most history, these ghosts haunt not only our past but our present and future.
