While most accounts of the territorial expansion of the U.S. concentrate on the farming frontier, Cox (History [emeritus], San Diego State University) examines the history of areas where trees were the lure that brought in the first settlers. Relying heavily on the words of lumbermen and workers themselves, the author tells the story of the lumberman's frontier over three centuries as it moved west from the rivers of Maine to the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Cox's fresh approach to this aspect of U.S. history will interest historians and students of forestry and environmental history. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
