Book excerpt: In this first-ever book of its kind for Montana, historian Darris Flanagan has compiled, in text and photograph, a detailed look at the early "glory days" of logging in Montana. From an historical overview to detailed looks at the major components of the state's logging history -- lumberjacks, river drives, tie hacks, horse logging, donkey engines, railroads, trucks, crosscut saws and chainsaws, as well as a lively chapter about the Wobblies and the Strike of 1917 -- he literally provides the reader with a close-up and personal view of this major industry and the rugged men who strode through its colorful history.
