Book Description
Timber is the story of a friendship between two men, their work, their loves, and their involvement in the struggle over the unionization of loggers. It is a stirring story of an earlier time, when trees were still "thick as a hair on the back of a dog," and when people of conscience were concerned about the wellbeing of the men who felled the great trees, rather than the survival of the trees.
