Step back into the deep forests of California and Oregon, where towering redwoods and dense pine stands fueled one of the most dangerous and essential industries of early America.

This video presents a collection of historic logging photographs from the late 1800s through the early 1900s, capturing the men, machines, and methods that shaped the timber camps of the West. From massive hand-cut logs and steam donkeys to narrow-gauge logging railroads and rough camp life, these images tell the story of a time when logging was powered by muscle, steel, and nerve.

Before modern equipment, loggers worked with crosscut saws, axes, horses, and steam engines—often in brutal weather and unforgiving terrain. Many of these photographs were taken in the redwood forests of Northern California and the timber regions of Oregon, where logging communities rose quickly and disappeared just as fast.

This is a quiet visual history of labor, landscape, and loss—the forests that built towns, fortunes, and the backbone of the American West.

Photo Relic is all about the olden days. Just old black and white pictures of how life was back when times were simpler. Old pictures of everyday life at work and at play. Life in the city and life in the country. People who made the world what it is today.
