Book excerpt: Once gathered only for subsistence and cultural purposes, wild huckleberries are now also harvested commercially. Drawing on archival research as well as harvester and producer interview and survey data, an inventory of North American wild huckleberry plant genera is presented, and the wild huckleberry harvesting patterns of early Native Americans and nonindigenous settlers are described. The social, technological, and environmental changes that gave rise to the commercial industry in the Pacific Northwest by the 1920s and the industrys demise after World War II are explained. The resurgence of the commercial wild huckleberry industry in the mid-1980s and national forest management issues related to the industry are presented as are possible strategies that land managers could develop to ensure wild huckleberry, wildlife, and cultural sustainability.

Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Trade in plants, lichens, and fungi from forests in the U.S. has been important for generations. The Forest Service (FS) refers to these products as special forest products (SFP). Increasing concern over the management and harvest of SFP from national forest lands has led to the development of new FS policy directives. Here is a brief history of SFPs in the Western U.S., highlighting the issues that necessitated new management direction. It discusses the new policy directives that led to the development of a cost appraisal system for SFPs. The framework, components, and uses of this cost appraisal system are described. Also includes an informal assessment of the impact, effectiveness, and value of the cost appraisal system. Ill.

Book Synopsis Hoboes by : Mark Wyman

Download or read book Hoboes written by Mark Wyman. This book was released on 2010-04-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the railroad stretched its steel rails across the American West in the 1870s, it opened up a vast expanse of territory with very few people but enormous agricultural potential: a second Western frontier, the garden West. Agriculture quickly followed the railroads, making way for Kansas wheat and Colorado sugar beets and Washington apples. With this new agriculture came an unavoidable need for harvest workers—for hands to pick the apples, cotton, oranges, and hops; to pull and top the sugar beets; to fill the trays with raisin grapes and apricots; to stack the wheat bundles in shocks to be pitched into the maw of the threshing machine. These were not the year-round hired hands but transients who would show up to harvest the crop and then leave when the work was finished. Variously called bindlestiffs, fruit tramps, hoboes, and bums, these men—and women and children—were vital to the creation of the West and its economy. Amazingly, it is an aspect of Western history that has never been told. In Hoboes: Bindlestiffs, Fruit Tramps, and the Harvesting of the West, the award-winning historian Mark Wyman beautifully captures the lives of these workers. Exhaustively researched and highly original, this narrative history is a detailed, deeply sympathetic portrait of the lives of these hoboes, as well as a fresh look at the settling and development of the American West.
