Howell-North Books, Berkeley, California, 1966/Revised/Enlarged Edition
Trans -Anglo Books, Glendale, California 1984.Professor Polkinghorn's books
are the authoritative documents for lumbering on the central Georgetown
Divide-Eldorado National Forest areas during the late 19th Century through
the middle of the 20th Century.
