How did loggers get massive trees out of the mountains before logging trucks, chainsaws, and modern equipment?
In this episode of All About Home Construction, we go back through the history of American logging and timber harvesting — from the 1600s through the 20th century. We look at how loggers used axes, crosscut saws, oxen, horses, rivers, and eventually steam-powered equipment to move timber.
You'll hear about log drives, splash dams, log chutes, water flumes, logging railroads, steam donkeys, big wheels, tractors, chainsaws, and the machines that transformed the logging industry.
We'll especially look at how technology changed logging during the 1800s, when getting timber out of America's forests began shifting from human and animal power toward mechanized logging.
If you've ever wondered how the huge forests of America were harvested before modern logging equipment, this episode takes you into the woods to find out.
