Reviews

Although archaeologists have investigated logging sites for several decades, rarely has this work found publication or broader contextualization. In Timber, Sail, and Rail, the author does just this. This book connects the technological and labor histories, and firmly situates archaeological investigations at the Loma Prieta Mill within the regional contexts of immigration and extractive industry. * Paul White, University of Nevada, Reno

...one of the best books in the field of industrial archaeology. As excavations continue, we can expect that Meniketti will produce additional studies of high quality. * IA: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archaeology Although archaeologists have investigated logging sites for several decades, rarely has this work found publication or broader contextualization.
