Gove, a retired forester, presents a history of logging railroads in the Adirondacks, beginning with an introduction to steam power used for logging on rivers, which early railroads then took over, types of locomotives used, operation problems, villages, logging of the old-growth timber, and forest fires. The second half of the book is devoted to individual railroads, their equipment, and area maps, including the New York Central and Hudson River, Carthage, Northern Adirondack, and Adirondack Branch Railroads. The text has many b&w photos and maps. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
