Scope and content
ca. 1963. Mt. Rainier serves as a brilliant backdrop for a tree which has just been topped in St. Regis logging operations. The camera has captured the tree in the process of falling on a bright late summer day in 1963. The Douglas fir would be used as a spar for high lead logging operations. Several sections on this mountainside have already been clear-cutted and the downed trees strewn about the landscape. Tops and limbs have been removed from the trees and they have been cut into sections. St. Regis owned about 200,000 acres of prime timber in the Cascades about 40 miles east of Tacoma.
