Title

Bert Pickens oral history recording

Description

An audio recording and transcript of an oral history of Bert Pickens on February 3, 1978, about the logging industry in Washington County, Oregon, during the beginning of the twentieth century. The recording starts with a quick overview of what was discussed: logging equipment, changes in logging methods, life in the logging camps, the IWW (International Woodworkers of the World) union, and past friendships. The interview starts at 0:34 and at about 4:00, it becomes harder to hear Bert Pickens. He also talks of wages, the effects of the Great Depression and the wars on logging, and the Four L (Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen) company union.
