Arthur V. Smyth tells the story of his days as a forester for the Weyerhaeuser Company in the Coos Bay area of Oregon and presents what he calls a “biography” of industrial forestry in the Pacific Northwest. ?Art Smyth has written a very compelling little book. Not only does he tell the story of a particular forest, The Millicoma Forest, but he also presents a biography of industrial forestry in the Pacific Northwest. From pre-colonial times, early harvests, tree farms, the spotted owl and beyond, Smyth tells his story as a forester, with fondness and deep knowledge of the land, the forest and the people about which he speaks.??Roger A.
