World Sawmill Records Howard W. Blagen of Mokelumne Hill, California, contests the claim of the “world's sawmill record” made on behalf of the Brown Company's Berlinh, New Hampshire, mill by William G. Gove in the April 1986 JFH (“New Hampshire's Brown Company and Its World-Record Sawmill”). Mr. Blagen reports that in the early 1920s the Grays Harbor Lumber Company mill in Hoquiam, Washington (owned by the Blagen family), “set production records for a single-cut band mill for sustained periods” of 340,000 to 350,000 board feet per shift, “or over one million feet per day” with three shifts. Much of the mill's production went into “Jap ties or squares” three or four feet square, which were shipped to Japan for resawing. Mr. Gove's article mentioned such later western records on page 87: “ The complex west coast mills of a later decade quadrupled this record production,” although he believed that the west coast records depended on “using a combination of machines.” Differences in sawmill equipment, timber, and final lumber sizes make any final or definitive claims about world's records almost impossible; certainly both the New Hampshire and Washington crews deserve to be remembered for their achievements. Another Facet of New England Forest History Mr. Robert E. Wolf of St. Leonard, Maryland, points out that Howard S. Russell's A Long, Deep Furrow: Three Centuries of Farming in New England (Hanover, New Hampshire: University Press of New England, 1976) provided much information on an aspect of New England's forest history not covered in the April 1986 JFH: the interaction between forests and agriculture. Beyond the give-and-take of forested and cleared land according to the ups and downs of the farm economy, Russell's book mentions regulations meant to guarantee the supply of firewood for Boston, ordinances protecting shade trees on town streets, the industrial use of wood for fuel, and the economically important manufacture of wood products during the winter by farm families.","PeriodicalId":246151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forest History","volume":"SE-2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126572773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, at the end of the poem, \"For of the past we found a trace, a peavey loggers know so well, a peavey with a Circle L, which as you know, was Bunyan's mark.\" Circle L was the H. M. Loud Sons' company mark, the longest continually running lumber company on the Au Sable River in this area. Malloch's own bailiwick was the western side of Michigan, suggesting perhaps that MacGillivray had collaborated, or at least corresponded, with Malloch on the verse. McGillivray had in fact worked in lumber camps on the Au Sable River's North Branch in Crawford County (which surrounds Grayling), where he may have heard the \"Round River\" tale told. The charm of MacGillivray's original story was that it did not launch into exaggeration immediately, as did subsequently published Paul Bunyan exploits. Instead, it built on germs of truth to foster gullibility, not stretching credibility in an obvious way. MacGillivray only caught his readers smiling at the end, when they realized they had been had, shaggy-dog style.","PeriodicalId":246151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forest History","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125305756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If recent trends of clearing and alternative land use continue, the concerted onslaught may permanently eradicate the forest cover. Quintana Roo has been regarded as a sparsely populated \"virgin\" region, the settlement and exploitation of which are overdue as the disparity between locally produced food and population in Mexico increases. However, this land has not always been so devoid of human inhabitants. It occupies the eastern part of the ancient northern Maya lowlands, a region of once-dense human occupation and high cultural attainments. Far from being pristine, the modern forest is the result of past human activity over a long period. Although the details of these impacts are as yet unclear, it appears that human beings have long obtained important economic benefits from the forest by both extraction and deliberate planting. These benefits could be lost permanently if the forestland is converted to other uses.","PeriodicalId":246151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forest History","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129488135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like the pendulum, however, which swings from one extreme to another, ecological theory of late has shifted attention from stable forest systems to \"forest history,\" seen as a chronicle of various \"disasters\" in the life of a given forest.'

Putnam spent weeks in the wild lands locating corners and mapping lots as a field man for the largest land sales operation in Maine's history. In thirty-seven years he and his associates surveyed and sold a land area twice the size of Connecticut. They struggled with practical problems that still confront later generations of foresters: boundary disputes, political pressures, unruly logging contractors, timber estimates, and mapmaking.' The work of Rufus Putnam, not only as an individual but as an agent of the early public lands policies applied to Maine, left durable marks on the state's history. The historian of Maine's public lands faces two major questions in assessing the overall impact of this disposal program: What did the Maine land policy issues faced by Massachusetts and by the United States as a whole have in common, if anything? And what were the key bequests to Maine and U.S. land policy from this period? It took two and a half centuries to dispose of Maine's public domain. It began with the first land grants by Louis XIV in 1603 and ended with the last land sales in 1878.
