Thunder in the Mountains is the story of the life and times of a fascinating California lumber operation last known as the Madera Sugar Pine Company. It is also the larger picture of what has sometimes been called "The Glory Days of High Sierra Logging" - a unique and exciting period in the history of the Winning of the American West.
This beautifully printed, bountifully illustrated book sparkles with the flavor of those unforgettable early days when mountain lumbering was truly a backbreaking task, and men were rugged because they had to be in order to survive. Author Hank Johnston's interesting text, artist Don De-Vere's graphic maps and illustrations, and a priceless collection of early-day pictures are interwoven into a memorable presentation with appeal for rail-fans, logging enthusiasts, and students of western history everywhere.
