Great pics, I have seen some from the McCloud area where the logs were so big they were one per rail car!

Eyemustdigtreasure, the "early technology" for moving the giant logs in your turn-of-the-century logging photo was called a Sling-Cart. It is what the Heavy Artillery guys in the civil war used to move the largest cannons (such as the 12,000-pound Columbiad cannons) from the railroad to a fort.
To see an artillery sling-cart in action, removing a captured Confederate Double-Banded Brooke Rifle from Fort Darling on the James River after Richmond fell, go here, and click on the small photo to lee the large version:

I have to get a semi and crane to get this hurricane irma log to our mill !! Ive slowly been removing this toppled sabicu tree. Its taken a month of Saturdays to get to this point, and now its time for heavy lifting. When it gets to the log lot I will have to move our mill to wherever it lays. Its easier to disassemble the mill and move it to the log than moveing the log to the mill. There is a fortune in sabicu slabs, just have to keep the logs as long as possible for maximum yeild. We could stop traffic and roll our log to the lot with that cart !! Ya think it Might take a few horses to pull that cart !!

A while back, I posted several original civil war era photos, mostly showing artillery-related subjects. Y'all seemed to enjoy them, so here is the first of more. This one shows a wrecked Confederate cannon after the Siege Of Yorktown (in early 1862) Virginia. Of particular note for civil war artillery projectile collectors, this photo also shows some "Quilted Grapeshot" ammunition (at far left in the photo)... which proves that that type, which dates back to the Colonial Era, was still being used in the civil war.
