Logging Railroads of New Hampshire's North Country

A newly published illustrated history of logging in the Moose River basin of Vermont's remote Northeast Kingdom. Author Bill Gove, who has previously written five northern New England logging histories, takes readers back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when timber was king in this corner of Vermont's hardscrabble Essex County. Through words and more than 100 photos, maps, and illustrations, Gove offers up a one-of-a-kind history that touches on not just the logging operations in Victory and Granby, Vermont, but also the workings of the former Victory Branch Railroad, over which millions of feet of cut timber were once transported.
