On back cover
Long regarded as one of the greatest of the turn-of-the century White Mountain lumber barons, James Everell (J.E.) Henry carved his way in the history books by commanding a small army of lumberjacks who cut clean the vast untouched forests of the Zealand and East Branch valleys.
J.E. Henry's Logging Railroads: The History of the East Branch & Lincoln and Zealand Valley Railroads by retired Vermont forester Bill Gove takes a fascinating look back at one of New Hampshire's most colorful and determined lumbermen of all time. Exhaustively researched over a 30-year span, Gove chronicles the history of Henry's two highly successful logging railroads, plus the men who worked the woods, and the locomotives that steamed their way through the vast virgin forests of the White Mountains a century ago.
In telling the story of this controversial figure of the late 1800s and early 1900s, Gove relies on numerous firsthand accounts and anecdotes from many of the woods workers themselves, plus more than 160 photographs, charts and maps detailing nearly every aspect of Henry's lumbering operation, and those of his successors.
