Brandon,

Very interesting Photos - all five pages of them. A couple weeks ago I was
browsing the public domain films site http://www.archive.org/details/movies
and found these films related to logging that might also be of interest:

The Trees to Tribunes one shows the process from cutting the tree through
making paper to printing a newspaper.

If you browse the text archive for forestry there are a number of documents
available, including several older forestry books as pdf files.

One that caught my interest was:

A primer of forestry - Pinchot, Gifford, 1865-1946
pt. 1. The forest -- pt. 2. Practical forestry
Keywords: Forests and forestry; Trees
