Forest Green cloth-over boards with gilt lettering to top board and spine. A gorgeously produced and loving (if unflinching) history of an Oregon timber company which started as a bootstraps family-run operation and through the intelligence and tenacity of its founding members and successors, rose to become one of the most important such ventures in the Pacific Northwest, a state and national economic force in its own right. A meticulously researched work, of major historical importance to any understanding of the complex timber industry, Oregon, and The Pacific Northwest. This copy inscribed and/or signed by four people intimately involved with the history of this famous Oregon timber venture: 1) author Michael Thoele on title page; 2) L.L. "Stub" Stewart. Loren LaSells "Stub" Stewart (January 10, 1911 - January 2, 2005) was the owner and president of the Bohemia Lumber Company and a state representative from Oregon House District 14; 3) Wayne Chambers who worked for forty years as a forester with Bohemia Mining Company, cruising timber sales, designing logging roads, and a number of other assignments, including tracking down spotted owls, and helping balloon logging become part of the industry; 4) S.E. (Strayer Edward) "Pitt" Pittman (1923-2008) worked his way up the ranks from an entry-level job as an office clerk, to a spot in Bohemia's sales department, a position of Vice President of Sales, and later, a place as President and CEO of the company.
